leds: heartbeat: fix bug on panic

With commit 49dca5aebfdeadd4bf27b6cb4c60392147dc35a4 I introduced
a bug (visible if CONFIG_PROVE_RCU is enabled) which occures when a panic
has happened:

So in case of a panic, now just turn of the LED. Other approaches like
scheduling a work to unregister the trigger aren't working because there
isn't much which still runs after a panic occured (except timers).
