CVE-2024-56587: leds: class: Protect brightness_show() with led_cdev->led_access mutex
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

leds: class: Protect brightness_show() with led_cdev->led_access mutex

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.
