pinctrl: reserve pins when states are activated

This switches the way that pins are reserved for multiplexing:

We used to do this when the map was parsed, at the creation of
the settings inside the pinctrl handle, in pinmux_map_to_setting().

However this does not work for us, because we want to use the
same set of pins with different devices at different times: the
current code assumes that the pin groups in a pinmux state will
only be used with one single device, albeit different groups can
be active at different times. For example if a single I2C driver
block is used to drive two different busses located on two
pin groups A and B, then the pins for all possible states of a
function are reserved when fetching the pinctrl handle: the
I2C bus can choose either set A or set B by a mux state at
runtime, but all pins in both group A and B (the superset) are
effectively reserved for that I2C function and mapped to the
device. Another device can never get in and use the pins in
group A, even if the device/function is using group B at the
moment.

Instead: let use reserve the pins when the state is activated
and drop them when the state is disabled, i.e. when we move to
another state. This way different devices/functions can use the
same pins at different times.

We know that this is an odd way of doing things, but we really
need to switch e.g. an SD-card slot to become a tracing output
sink at runtime: we plug in a special "tracing card" then mux
the pins that used to be an SD slot around to the tracing
unit and push out tracing data there instead of SD-card
traffic.

As a side effect pinmux_free_setting() is unused but the stubs
are kept for future additions of code.

Being picky: It's not unused; it is used by pinctrl_put_locked(), but
just doesn't have to do anything given the implementation of
pinmux_map_to_setting().
