APM-EMULATION: apm_get_power_status() should be NULL on init.

If the function apm_get_info() do like this:

   static int apm_get_info(char *buf, char **start, off_t fpos, int length)
   {
           struct apm_power_info info;
           char *units;
           int ret;

           info.ac_line_status = 0xff;
           info.battery_status = 0xff;
           info.battery_flag   = 0xff;
           info.battery_life   = -1;
           info.time           = -1;
           info.units          = -1;

           if (apm_get_power_status)
                   apm_get_power_status(&info);
   ...

we shouldn't set:

   static void __apm_get_power_status(struct apm_power_info *info)
   {
   }

   void (*apm_get_power_status)(struct apm_power_info *) = __apm_get_power_status;

otherwise the check is not needed. Furthermore setting the function to
NULL signals that the apm-emulation layer is not already assigned (I
found this very useful for my apm-emulation battery_class support).
