We can make dev_pm_opp_set_voltage() to accept OPP=NULL in order to
disable the regulator, like it's done for dev_pm_opp_set_rate(dev, 0).
Although, I don't need this kind of behaviour for the Tegra PD driver,
and thus, would prefer to leave this for somebody else to implement in
the future, once it will be really needed.

Still we need the dev_pm_opp_find_level_ceil() because level=0 means
that we want to set PD to the lowest (minimal) performance state, i.e.
it doesn't necessarily mean that we want to set the voltage to 0 and
disable the PD entirely. GENPD has a separate controls for on/off.
