[PATCH] backlight: pwm_bl: re-add driver internal enabled tracking

Commit e6bcca0890b9 ("backlight: pwm_bl: Switch to using "atomic" PWM API")
removed the driver internal enabled tracking in favor of simply checking
the pwm state.

This can lead to issues as all of gpio-, regulator- and pwm-state are used
to determine the initial state and the bootloader or kernel can leave them
in an inconsistent state at boot.

In my case on rk3399-kevin, the pwm backlight is build as module and the
kernel disables the supply regulator as unused while keeping the pwm running
thus pwm_bl calling pwm_backlight_power_off() during probe and creating an
unmatched regulator-disable call, as it never got enabled from the pwm-bl
before.

To prevent these consistency issues, reintroduce the driver-internal
tracking of the enabled state.
