leds: Introduce userspace LED class driver
This driver creates a userspace leds driver similar to uinput. New LEDs are created by opening /dev/uleds and writing a uleds_user_dev struct. A new LED class device is registered with the name given in the struct. Reading will return a single byte that is the current brightness. The poll() syscall is also supported. It will be triggered whenever the brightness changes. Closing the file handle to /dev/uleds will remove the leds class device.
