[PATCH] pinctrl: core: Make p->state in order in pinctrl_commit_state

From: Maria Yu

We've got a dump that current cpu is in pinctrl_commit_state, the
old_state != p->state while the stack is still in the process of
pinmux_disable_setting. So it means even if the current p->state is
changed in new state, the settings are not yet up-to-date enabled
complete yet.

Currently p->state in different value to synchronize the
pinctrl_commit_state behaviors. The p->state will have transaction like
old_state -> NULL -> new_state. When in old_state, it will try to
disable all the all state settings. And when after new state settings
enabled, p->state will changed to the new state after that. So use
smp_mb to synchronize the p->state variable and the settings in order.
