Subject: [PATCH 2/2] leds: fix led_brightness_set when soft-blinking

Change led_brightness_set to ensure software blink timer is stopped
before calling led_stop_software_blink() and use led_set_brightness()
instead of calling led_cdev->brightness_set() directly to ensure
led_cdev->brightness is always consistent with current LED status.

This ensure proper cleaning when changing triggers, as without this fix
a LED may be turned off while leaving it's led_cdev->brightness = 1,
leading to an erratic software-blink behaviour.

The problem was easy to reproduce by changing the trigger from "timer"
to "oneshot".
