fix bug #2926 (loading all state for a given type from the DB if the state_key is None) (#2990)

Fixes a regression that had crept in where the caching layer upholds requests for loading state which is filtered by type (but not by state_key), but the DB layer itself would interpret a missing state_key as a request to filter by null state_key rather than returning all state_keys.
