Generally the permanent_location and location should match, however, prior to
bug 23463 one could:
1 - Map permanent_location to a marc field
2 - Expose that field in the item editor
3 - Change the location of the item and retain the permanent location on saving
4 - This created a 'temporary' location that was cleared upon next checkin

Many libraries used this for adding items to displays.

Since bug 23463, however, the item updates only fields that have changed - if
one changes the location but not the permanent location then koha sees that no
permanent location was set and reverts it to the location

We need to force passing through the permanent_location if it is visible+mapped
in the item edit form, regardless of whether it changes or not
