[PATCH] ACPI video: handle indexed _BQC correctly

[Zhang Rui <rui.zhang@intel.com>]

In the current code, for a box with an indexed _BQC method, we
1. get the current brightness level by evaluating _BQC
2. set the value gotten in step 1 to _BCM
3. get the current brightness level again
4. set the _BQC_use_index flag if the results gotten
   in step 1 and in step 3 don't equal.

But this logic doesn't work actually, because the _BQC_use_index 
is not set when acpi_video_device_lcd_set_level is invoked.
This results in a failure in step 2.
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12249#c83

Now, we set the _BQC_use_index flag after invoking _BQC for the first
time. And reevaluate the _BQC to get the correct brightness level.
