[PATCH] leds: Allow drivers to update the core, and generate events on changes

[Gabriele Mazzotta]

Similarily to commit 325253a6b2de ("backlight: Allow drivers to update
the core, and generate events on changes"), inform userspace about
brightness changes and allow drivers to request updates of the
brightness value.

This is exactly like 325253a6b2de, but for the led subsystem. The only thing
I'm not entirely sure of is that uevents are sent even if the brightness
doesn't change, but this is how it's done in 325253a6b2de.
