more efficiently by computing "var & htonl(const)" instead and doing the

rfkill: always call get_state() hook on resume

Call it manually on the resume handler, as we don't want to mess with
the EPO path by removing the optimization.  This has the added benefit

rfkill: preserve state across suspend

The rfkill class API requires that the driver connected to a class
call rfkill_force_state() on resume to update the real state of the
rfkill controller, OR that it provides a get_state() hook.

This means there is potentially a hidden call in the resume code flow
that changes rfkill->state (i.e. rfkill_force_state()), so the
previous state of the transmitter was being lost.

The simplest and most future-proof way to fix this is to explicitly
store the pre-sleep state on the rfkill structure, and restore from
that on resume.
