Revert "leds: convert blink timer to workqueue"

This reverts commit 8b37e1b.

It's broken as it changes led_blink_set() in a way that it can now sleep
(while synchronously waiting for workqueue to be cancelled). That's a
problem, because it's possible that this function gets called from atomic
context (tpt_trig_timer() takes a readlock and thus disables preemption).

This has been brought up 3 weeks ago already [1] but no proper fix has
materialized, and I keep seeing the problem since 3.17-rc1.
