[PATCH 19/47] PM: update docs for writing .../power/state

From: David Brownell <david-b@pacbell.net>

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.
