Invalid state-transitions is verified by governor core now and there is
no need to replicate that in cpufreq core. Also we don't drop
policy->rwsem anymore, which makes rest of the races go away.

Simplify code a bit now.

Yeah, please wait for a bit for Rafael to apply both the series (if
they pass the litmus test) to PM tree :)

We can surely add a comment for that.

But I would like to review the state after these patches are applied,
as we may be able to guarantee that from cpufreq-core instead.
