Subject: PM / clk: Fix crash in clocks management code if !CONFIG_PM_RUNTIME

commit a968bed78b549b4c61d4a46e59161fc1f60f96a6 upstream.

Unlike the clocks management code for runtime PM, the code used for
system suspend does not check the pm_clock_entry.status field.
If pm_clk_acquire() failed, ce->status will be PCE_STATUS_ERROR, and
ce->clk will be a negative error code (e.g. 0xfffffffe = -2 = -ENOENT).

Depending on the clock implementation, suspend or resume may crash with:

    Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000026

(CCF clk_disable() has an IS_ERR_OR_NULL() check, while CCF clk_enable()
 only has a NULL check; pre-CCF implementations may behave differently)

While just checking for PCE_STATUS_ERROR would be sufficient, it doesn't
hurt to use the same state machine as is done for runtime PM, as this
makes the two versions more similar, and eligible for a future
consolidation.
