Disk activity trigger: keeps blinking under full load

[Pavel Machek]

Hi!

I'm trying to use disk activity trigger on a scrollock LED... but it
significantly differs from "usual" disk LED: even under "full" disk
activity (linear read) where it should be solidly "on", it keeps
blinking.

I guess that's what led_trigger_blink_oneshot() does. I tried to
change the parameters... off_delay == 0 breaks it completely, and even
with delay of 1 it behaves very weirdly.

Is there better helper I should use?
