Well, this most likely has been introduced by commit:

commit 8f88731d052d2b14f332249a9332690ac1b365ac
Author: Bryan Wu <bryan.wu@...onical.com>
Date:   Sat Jun 25 18:33:50 2011 +0800

    led-triggers: create a trigger for CPU activity

because ledtrig_cpu_syscore_suspend() is run in atomic context, which kind of
doesn't play well with mutexes.

Linus, Bryan, care to fix this?
