Initially the claim about no need for lock in brightness_show()
was valid as the function was just returning unchanged
LED brightness.
After the addition of led_update_brightness() this is no longer
true, as the function can change the brightness if a LED class
driver implements brightness_get op. It can lead to races between
led_update_brightness() and led_set_brightness().
