IB/ipath: Support blinking LEDs with an led_override file

When we want to find an InfiniPath HCA in a rack of nodes, it is often
expeditious to blink the status LEDs via a userspace /sys file.

A write-only led_override "file" is published per device. Writes to
this file are interpreted as (string form) numbers, and the resulting
value sent to ipath_set_led_override(). The upper eight bits are
interpretted as a 4.4 fixed-point "frequency in Hertz", and the bottom
two 4-bit values are alternately (D0..3, then D4..7) used by the
board-specific LED-setting function to override the normal state.
