platform/x86: dell-laptop: disable kbd backlight on Inspiron 10xx

[ Upstream commit 10b65e2915b2fcc606d173e98a972850101fb4c4 ]

This patch adds a quirk disabling keyboard backlight support for the
Dell Inspiron 1012 and 1018.

Those models wrongly report supporting keyboard backlight control
features (through SMBIOS tokens) even though they're not equipped with
a backlit keyboard. This led to broken controls being exposed
through sysfs by this driver which froze the system when used.
