PM: update docs for writing .../power/state

Updates to match current code:

 - Make writes to the /sys/devices/.../power/state files fail cleanly
   if the device requires the irqs-off call variants.

 - Fix comments describing the /sys/devices/.../power/state file writes
   to match the code; the last several releases have invalidated the
   previous text.

* state - Control current power state of device
*
* show() returns the current power state of the device. '0' indicates
* the device is on. Other values (1-3) indicate the device is in a low
* the device is on. Other values (2) indicate the device is in some low
* power state.
*
* store() sets the current power state, which is an integer value
* between 0-3. If the device is on ('0'), and the value written is
* greater than 0, then the device is placed directly into the low-power
* state (via its driver's ->suspend() method).
* If the device is currently in a low-power state, and the value is 0,
* the device is powered back on (via the ->resume() method).
* If the device is in a low-power state, and a different low-power state
* is requested, the device is first resumed, then suspended into the new
* low-power state.
* store() sets the current power state, which is an integer valued
* 0, 2, or 3. Devices with bus.suspend_late(), or bus.resume_early()
* methods fail this operation; those methods couldn't be called.
* Otherwise,
*
* - If the recorded dev->power.power_state.event matches the
* target value, nothing is done.
* - If the recorded event code is nonzero, the device is reactivated
* by calling bus.resume() and/or class.resume().
* - If the target value is nonzero, the device is suspended by
* calling class.suspend() and/or bus.suspend() with event code
* PM_EVENT_SUSPEND.
*
* This mechanism is DEPRECATED and should only be used for testing.
