[PATCH] backlight: gpio-backlight: Fix warning when the GPIO is on a I2C chip

If the GPIO for the backlight is on an I2C chip, we currently
get nasty warnings like this during the boot:

WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 6 at drivers/gpio/gpiolib.c:2364 gpiod_set_raw_value+0x40/0x4c()

Fix this by using gpio_set_value_cansleep() as suggested in
drivers/gpio/gpiolib.c:2364. This is what the other backlight drivers
are also doing.
