Subject: [PATCH] leds: trigger: Fix sleeping function called from invalid context

We will meet below issue due to mutex_lock() is called in interrupt context.
The mutex lock is used to protect the pattern trigger data, but before changing
new pattern trigger data (pattern values or repeat value) by users, we always
cancel the timer firstly to clear previous patterns' performance. That means
there is no race in pattern_trig_timer_function(), so we can drop the mutex
lock in pattern_trig_timer_function() to avoid this issue.

Moreover we can move the timer cancelling into mutex protection, since there
is no deadlock risk if we remove the mutex lock in pattern_trig_timer_function().

BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at kernel/locking/mutex.c:254
