Subject: [PATCH] Fix rmmod of asus_laptop

Hi,

The asus laptop driver conditionnaly registers leds in asus_led_register()
depending on their availability, but unconditionnaly registers them all at
exit time or when the module fails to load. Unregistering not registered leds
result in the following Oops. So we should check before unregistering.

DEV: Unregistering device. ID = 'asus-laptop'
PM: Removing info for No Bus:asus-laptop
kobject_uevent_env
fill_kobj_path: path = '/class/backlight/asus-laptop'
kobject asus-laptop: cleaning up
DEV: Unregistering device. ID = '<NULL>'
BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual
address 00000064
 printing eip:
c026a9a3
*pde = 00000000
Oops: 0000 [#1]
