[PATCH v3] pinctrl: avoid reload of p state in list iteration

[Maria Yu <quic_aiquny@quicinc.com>]

When in the list_for_each_entry iteration, reload of p->state->settings
with a local setting from old_state will makes the list iteration in a
infinite loop.
The typical issue happened, it will frequently have printk message like:
  "not freeing pin xx (xxx) as part of deactivating group xxx - it is
already used for some other setting".
This is a compiler-dependent problem, one instance was got using Clang
version 10.0 plus arm64 architecture with linux version 4.19.

Fixes: 6e5e959dde0d ("pinctrl: API changes to support multiple states per device")
