It is cancelled in rfkill_any_led_trigger_unregister().  It seemed
fitting to do it this way as rfkill_any_work is initialized in
rfkill_any_led_trigger_register().  And if CONFIG_RFKILL_LEDS=n,
rfkill_any_work is neither initialized nor scheduled, so we should be
good as well.  Am I missing something?
