powerd should unconditionally turn off keyboard backlight when lid is closed

Project Member Reported by derat@chromium.org, Jul 7 2016

Issue description

I just noticed while looking at some logs that powerd doesn't seem to turn the keyboard backlight off when the lid is closed. It doesn't matter if we suspend (since we'll turn the backlight off for that), but it probably costs a bit of battery in docked mode. (Although for all I know, some hardware may turn it off automatically.)

I take that back; I misread the logs. And here's the current code:

bool KeyboardBacklightController::UpdateState(TransitionStyle transition,
                                              BrightnessChangeCause cause) {
  // Force the display off immediately in several special cases.
  if (shutting_down_ || docked_ || suspended_)
    return ApplyBrightnessPercent(0.0, transition, cause);

(That's a typo, though. Should be "Force the backlight off".)
