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").
