leds: triggers: Allow to switch the trigger to "panic" on a kernel panic

This commit adds a new led_cdev flag LED_PANIC_INDICATOR, 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.

 	  This allows LEDs to be configured to blink on a kernel panic.
+	  Enabling this option will allow to mark certain LEDs as panic indicators,
+	  allowing to blink them on a kernel panic, even if they are set to
+	  a different trigger.
 	  If unsure, say Y.
