No, this is not a deadlock, as a write-lock waiter only blocks
*non-recursive* readers, so since the read_lock() in kbd_bh() is called
in soft-irq (which in_interrupt() returns true), so it's a recursive
reader and won't get blocked by the write-lock waiter.

The deadlock senario reported by the following splat is:

	
	CPU 0:				CPU 1:					CPU 2:
	-----				-----					-----
	led_trigger_event():
	  read_lock(&trig->leddev_list_lock);
					<work queue processing>
	  				ata_hsm_qs_complete():
					  spin_lock_irqsave(&host->lock);
					  					write_lock(&trig->leddev_list_lock);
					  ata_port_freeze():
					    ata_do_link_abort():
					      ata_qc_complete():
					        ledtrig_disk_activity():
						  led_trigger_blink_oneshot():
						    read_lock(&trig->leddev_list_lock);
						    // ^ not in in_interrupt() context, so could get blocked by CPU 2
	<interrupt>
	  ata_bmdma_interrupt():
	    spin_lock_irqsave(&host->lock);
	  
, where CPU 0 is blocked by CPU 1 because of the spin_lock_irqsave() in
ata_bmdma_interrupt() and CPU 1 is blocked by CPU 2 because of the
read_lock() in led_trigger_blink_oneshot() and CPU 2 is blocked by CPU 0
because of an arbitrary writer on &trig->leddev_list_lock.

So I don't think it's false positive, but I might miss something
obvious, because I don't know what the code here actually does ;-)
