docs: backlight: Clarify `actual_brightness`
Currently userspace software systemd treats `brightness` and `actual_brightness` identically due to a bug found in an out of tree driver. This however causes problems for in-tree drivers that use brightness to report user requested `brightness` and `actual_brightness` to report what the hardware actually has programmed. Clarify the documentation to match the behavior described in commit 6ca01765 ("[PATCH] backlight: Backlight Class Improvements").
