[PATCH RFC 04/27] PM / Domains: make governor select deepest state

From: Axel Haslam <ahaslam+renesas at baylibre.com>

Now that the structures of genpd can support multiple state definitions,
add the logic in the governor to select the deepest possible state when
powering down.

For this, create the new function power_down_ok_for_state which will test
if a particular state will not violate the devices and sub-domains
constraints.

default_power_down_ok is modified to try each state starting from the
deepest until a valid state is found or there are no more states to test.

the resulting state will be valid until there are latency or constraint
changes, thus, we can avoid looping every power_down, and use the cached
results instead.
