This commit adds a new led_cdev flag LED_BLINK_AT_PANIC, which
allows to mark a specific LED to be switched to the "panic"
trigger, on a kernel panic.

This is useful to allow the user to assign a regular trigger
to a given LED, and still blink that LED on a kernel panic.

Could we get this out of the core? I'm pretty sure most users are not
interested...

Good point.

Thinking about it some more....

This is not really a trigger. This is very special. Maybe hard-coded
handling, like we do for keyboard leds on x86 would be suitable?

Could you please spot the piece of code you have on mind?
