In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

backlight: led_bl: Hold led_access lock when calling led_sysfs_disable()

Lockdep detects the following issue on led-backlight removal:
[ 142.315935] ------------[ cut here ]------------
[ 142.315954] WARNING: CPU: 2 PID: 292 at drivers/leds/led-core.c:455 led_sysfs_enable+0x54/0x80
...
[ 142.500725] Call trace:
[ 142.503176] led_sysfs_enable+0x54/0x80 (P)

Indeed, led_sysfs_enable() has to be called with the led_access
lock held.

Hold the lock when calling led_sysfs_disable().
