Right, to preserve all changes (by all concurrent modifications) it is
needed to do that kbd_get_state() + modify + kbd_set_state() atomically.

So this patch fix all concurrent modifications by kernel.

But does not fix race condition when both userspace and kernel want to
change keyboard brightness settings.
