Subject: [PATCH fixes v4] pinctrl: Do not check previous and current state

In case a platform only defaults a "default" set of pins, but not a
"sleep" set of pins, and this particular platform suspends and resumes
in a way that the pin states are not preserved by the hardware, when we
resume, we would call pinctrl_single_resume() -> pinctrl_force_default()
-> pinctrl_select_state() and the first thing we do is check that the
pins state is the same as before, and do nothing.

In order to fix this, just remove the p->state == state check from
pinctrl_select_state() since it would not allow callers of this function
to get the pins to be brought into the expected state.

Changes in v4:

- just remove the p->state == state check because it cannot allow pinctrl_select_state
  to work for callers that expect it to do the actual state change

Changes in v3:

- move the state check to pinctrl_select_state

Changes in v2:

- rename __pinctrl_select_state to pinctrl_commit_state
