Are you sure this is correct?
In the case that airplane mode isn't owned, the
rfkill_apm_led_trigger_event() call will be a noop, so we should
arguably not be calling it.
Also, should we just fail silently if we're not the owner? I.e. what
does userspace learn from this op failing and is that useful?

Also, this code is duplicated from the _RELEASE op above. Would it
make sense to factor it out into a separate function?
