leds: menf21bmc: Convert to dev_err_probe()
    
Replace open-coded dev_err() + return pattern with dev_err_probe(),
which also handles -EPROBE_DEFER correctly.

[Severity: High]
This is a pre-existing issue, but does assigning this to brightness_set instead
of brightness_set_blocking risk a scheduling while atomic bug?

The menf21bmc_led_set() function acquires a mutex and calls sleeping I2C
functions:

drivers/leds/leds-menf21bmc.c:menf21bmc_led_set() {
    ...
	mutex_lock(&led_lock);
	led_val = i2c_smbus_read_byte_data(led->i2c_client,
					   BMC_CMD_LED_GET_SET);
    ...
}

If an atomic-context trigger like 'timer' or 'heartbeat' is selected for this
LED via sysfs, the LED core could call this non-blocking hook from an atomic
context, which can crash the system.
