Pressing the keyboard backlight down key at level 0 drives the cached
level negative, so the backlight then needs one extra up press per
extra down press before it turns back on. brightness_hw_changed also
reports out-of-range values: 4 after pressing up at the maximum level,
and ENODATA or values like 4294967294 below 0.

kbd_led_set_by_kbd() stores the new level without clamping it, and
kbd_led_update_all() skips do_kbd_led_set() for negative levels and
notifies userspace with the unclamped value. The level is computed in
enum led_brightness, which is unsigned, so the subtraction at level 0
wraps around.

Compute the level as int and clamp it in kbd_led_set_by_kbd(), which
covers every hotkey path.
