Move the mutex_init() to avoid redundant mutex_destroy() calls after
that for each time the probe fails.

Rebased onto linux-next.
V2:
- Move the mutex_init() to the end of .probe() instead of adding
mutex_destroy() according to Lee's comments.

I think it is better to prepare all the required resources before
registering the led device, what I mean is moving mutex_init() before
calling sc27xx_led_register().
Is the mutex used before this point?
If not, I don't see any reason to initialise it sooner.
When inserting the led module, after registering the led device, users
can set the led brightness or pattern trigger before initializing the
mutex, which will crash the system. I know this may not be an actual
scenario, but this patch opens a small race window, that's what I concerned.
