leds: Allow led_classdev_unregister() to ignore unregistered drivers

Allow led_classdev_unregister() to return for devices that were already
unregistered, never registered or failed to register to simplify
drivers. 

Fix error leftover from LED class struct device conversion (after the
above, drivers don't need to look at the device structure).

Fix the leak where asus-led registration fails half way through.
