[PATCH v3 2/2] HID: asus: use spinlock to safely schedule workers

[Pietro Borrello]

Use spinlocks to deal with workers introducing a wrapper
asus_schedule_work(), and several spinlock checks.
Otherwise, asus_kbd_backlight_set() may schedule led->work after the
structure has been freed, causing a use-after-free.

Fixes: af22a610bc38 ("HID: asus: support backlight on USB keyboards")
