Bug summary

Prior to the current matplotlib version, when using histtype='step' in pyplot.hist you could customize the linestyle with that command. Now, linestyle is not being used and all lines are coming out as 'solid'

Code for reproduction

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
dat=[0,1,2,3,4,5,2,3,4,5,4,5,5]
plt.figure()
plt.hist(dat,bins=3,ls='solid',color='k',histtype='step')
plt.show()
plt.figure()
plt.hist(dat,bins=3,ls='dotted',color='k',histtype='step')
plt.show()

Actual outcome

two plots, both showing the same graphic

Expected outcome

the second plot should have a dotted line, not a solid line
