One thing is that led_set_brightness() can probably be forced to avoid the
workqueue scheduling, by setting LED_BLINK_SW on the device (e.g. by
issuing led_set_software_blink() during panic).
But I am afraid this still won't solve the issue completely, as USB
keyboards need workqueues for blinking the LEDs in for URB management.
