This allows LEDs to be controlled by block device activity.

We already have ledtrig-disk (LED disk activity trigger), but the lower
level disk drivers need to utilize ledtrig_disk_activity() to make the
LED blink.

The LED block device trigger doesn't require the lower level drivers to
have any instrumentation. The activity is collected by polling the disk
stats.

Example:

echo block-nvme0n1 > /sys/class/leds/diy/trigger
Lets use one trigger "block" and have the device as a parameter,
please.

We already have 1000 cpu triggers on 1000 cpu machines, and yes, its a
disaster we'll need to fix. Lets not repeat the same mistake here.

I guess it may be slightly more work. Sorry about that.

Is the empty struct neccessary?

+static inline void ledtrig_blk_disable(struct gendisk *disk)

Normally we put such empty functions on single lines...
