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.

We want to make it so that when leds-turris-omnia driver is unloaded,
the LEDs will start blinking in HW mode as they did before the driver
was loaded. This is needed for that.
