To make sure LED enter off state after file handle is closed, initiatively
configure LED_MODE to NONE. This can guarantee whatever the previous state
is torch or strobe mode, the final state will be off.

Still cannot pass patch integration check, send v3 patch to fix all.

v3
- Remove 'Reported-by' tag
- Fix identation check for patch integration

v2
- Fix commit message redudant space cause patch robot parsing error

Hi,
We encounter an issue. When the upper layer camera process is crashed,
if the new process did not reinit the LED, it will keeps the previous
state whatever it's in torch or strobe mode

OS will handle the resource management. So when the process is crashed
or terminated, the 'close' API will be called to release resources.
That's why we add the initiative action to trigger LED off in file
handle close is called.

The patch itself looks good, but while at it I started wondering
if we shouldn't move below STROBE_SOURCE access before the lock.
I don't see now, why we placed it there.

Adding Sakari.
