[ Upstream commit 4ca7cd938725a4050dcd62ae9472e931d603118d ]

There is NULL pointer issue observed if from Process A where hid device
being added which results in adding a led_cdev addition and later a
another call to access of led_cdev attribute from Process B can result
in NULL pointer issue.

Use mutex led_cdev->led_access to protect access to led->cdev and its
attribute inside brightness_show() and max_brightness_show() and also
update the comment for mutex that it should be used to protect the led
class device fields.
