Move setting of the LED_UNREGISTERING before deactivating the trigger in
led_classdev_unregister().

It can be useful for a LED trigger to know whether it is being
deactivated due to the LED being unregistered. This makes it possible
for LED drivers which implement trigger offloading to leave the LED in
HW triggering mode when the LED is unregistered, instead of disabling
it.
Humm, i'm not sure that is a good idea. I don't expect my Ethernet
switch to keep forwarding frames when i unload the driver.
