thinkpad-acpi: enhance led support
Add support for extra LEDs on recent ThinkPads, and avoid registering with the led class the LEDs which are not available for a given ThinkPad model. All non-restricted LEDs are always available through the procfs interface, as the firmware doesn't care if an attempt is made to access an invalid LED.
