Subject: [PATCH 1/1] LEDS: leds-input, fix sleep inside atomic

input_led_connect creates an atomic context by spin_lock_irqsave and
calls functions which then perform sleeping operations. For example
GFP_KERNEL allocations in led_classdev_register.

So LOCKDEP complains then like:
------------[ cut here ]------------
WARNING: at kernel/lockdep.c:2469 lockdep_trace_alloc+0xbc/0xd0()
Pid: 1, comm: swapper Not tainted 2.6.34-mm1_64+ #5
Call Trace:
...
 [<ffffffff8109359c>] lockdep_trace_alloc+0xbc/0xd0
 [<ffffffff810f65b2>] kmem_cache_alloc+0x32/0xf0
 [<ffffffff81324826>] device_create_vargs+0x56/0x110
 [<ffffffff8132490c>] device_create+0x2c/0x30
 [<ffffffff8142068c>] led_classdev_register+0x2c/0xe0
 [<ffffffff814213de>] input_led_connect+0x21e/0x2c0
...

Fix this by changing the spinlock to mutex as it is used only in
input_handler->connect and ->disconnect and it is safe to sleep
there.
