xf86-video-intel: change order of DPMS operations

The operations when setting dpms on should be in the order opposite
of what's done when setting dpms off.

This is because of potentially conflicting effects:
~ drmModeConnectoSetProperty() enables/disables the backlight driver.
Some backlight drivers such as intel_backlight set the backlight to 0
when disabled and to max when enabled.
~ intel_output_dpms_backlight() saves the backlight value when turning
DPMS off and restores it when turning DPMS on.

Here's the current order of operations:

xset dpms force off (backlight is nonzero)
   drmModeConnectoSetProperty(DPMSModeOff)
      kernel: disable backlight, backlight=0
   intel_output_dpms_backlight(DPMSModeOff)
      save backlight value (0) <-- it has been set to 0 by kernel
      set backlight to 0

xset dpms force on
   drmModeConnectoSetProperty(DPMSModeOn)
      kernel: enable backlight, backlight=max
   intel_output_dpms_backlight(DPMSModeOn)
      set backlight to saved value (0)

The correct way to do this would be to reverse the operations during
xset dpms force off:
   intel_output_dpms_backlight(DPMSModeOff)
      save backlight value (nonzero)
      set backlight to 0
   drmModeConnectoSetProperty(DPMSModeOff)
      kernel: enable backlight, backlight=0

This restores the saved nonzero backlight value during the force on.
