Subject: [PATCH] platform/x86: asus-wmi: use brightness_set_blocking() for kbd led

kbd_led_set() can sleep, and so may not be used as the brightness_set()
callback.

Fixes "BUG: scheduling while atomic" when using this led with a trigger.

Fixes: 9fe44fc98ce4 ("platform/x86: asus-wmi: Simplify the keyboard brightness updating process")
