Currently, every backlight interface created by Nouveau uses the same name,
nv_backlight. This leads to a sysfs warning as it tries to create an already
existing folder. This patch adds a incremented number to the name, but keeps
the initial name as nv_backlight, to avoid possibly breaking userspace; the
second interface will be named nv_backlight1, and so on.

v2:
* Switch to using ida for generating unique IDs, as suggested by Ilia Mirkin;
* Allocate backlight name on the stack, as suggested by Ilia Mirkin;
* Move `nouveau_get_backlight_name()` to avoid forward declaration, as
suggested by Ilia Mirkin;
* Fix reference to bug report formatting, as reported by Nick Tenney.
v3:
* Define a macro for the size of the backlight name, to avoid defining
it multiple times;
* Use snprintf in place of sprintf.
v4:
* Do not create similarly named interfaces when reaching the maximum
amount of unique names, but fail instead, as pointed out by Lukas Wunner
