0b8728d6f1 ledtrig-cpu: kill useless mutex to fix sleep in atomic context
Seeing the following every time the CPU enters or leaves idle on a
Beagleboard:

BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at kernel/mutex.c:269
in_atomic(): 1, irqs_disabled(): 0, pid: 0, name: swapper/0
no locks held by swapper/0/0.

Miles Lane has reported seeing similar splats during system suspend.

The mutex in struct led_trigger_cpu appears to have no function: it
resides in a per-cpu data structure which never changes after the
trigger is registered.  So just remove it.

8f88731d05 led-triggers: create a trigger for CPU activity
Attempting to consolidate the ARM LED code, this removes the
custom RealView LED trigger code to turn LEDs on and off in
response to CPU activity and replace it with a standard trigger.

(bryan.wu@canonical.com:
It introduces several syscore stubs into this trigger.
It also provides ledtrig_cpu trigger event stub in <linux/leds.h>.
Although it was inspired by ARM work, it can be used in other arch.)
