[RFT/PATCH] atkbd - speed up setting leds/repeat state

[Dmitry Torokhov <dtor_core@ameritech.net>]

Input: atkbd - speed up setting leds/repeat state

Changing led state is pretty slow operation; when there are multiple
requests coming at a high rate they may interfere with normal typing.
Try optimize (skip) changing hardware state when multiple requests
are coming back-to-back.
