pwm: Allow pwm state transitions from an invalid state

While driving a PWM via the sysfs API it's hard to determine the right
order of writes to the pseudo files "period" and "duty_cycle":

If you want to go from duty_cycle/period = 50/100 to 150/300 you have to
write period first (because 150/100 is invalid). If however you start at
400/500 the duty_cycle must be configured first. The rule that works is:
If you increase period write period first, otherwise write duty_cycle
first. A complication however is that it's usually sensible to configure
the polarity before both period and duty_cycle. This can only be done if
the current state's duty_cycle and period configuration isn't bogus
though. It is still worse (but I think only theoretic) if you have a PWM
that only supports inverted polarity and you start with period = 0 and
polarity = normal. Then you can change neither period (because polarity
= normal is refused) nor polarity (because there is still period = 0).

To simplify the corner cases for userspace, let invalid target states
pass if the current state is invalid already.
