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.
