I was having the same issue with my Lenovo ideapad 100 (also model 15IBD 80 QQ) running Ubuntu-mate 16.04 LTS. However, when trying to get an image to display in Cheese, I found there was no display until I clicked preferences and changed the photo and video resolution both to 320x240. Then the webcam displayed an image but was very slow. After closing Cheese, the problem with the webcam led always being on has gone away. It's on briefly when booting up, then goes off once I've logged on and the desktop is loaded. I've re-booted several times now and the webcam led is off, unless an application requires it. I don't think I'd updated the kernel at the same time, but I might be wrong.
