Short description of error
Simplify AO Cycles setting remains active while Simplify is disabled

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error
Using Blender 2.78.5, load the following file

  1. Activate viewport rendering
  1. While render is running, disable/enable Simplify, notice AO setting remains active even while Simplify is disabled
  1. With Simplify enabled, change AO setting to 0 (zero), you will then see how the render should appear while Simplify option is disabled

From tests, this seems to be the only setting that remains active while Simply option is disabled

@Sergey Sharybin (sergey), with you developing this great AO render feature, imagine this one's for you my friend, in which case, may I once again take this opportunity to thank you for your excellent development work.
