Subject: [PATCH] regulator: Only notify voltage changes when they succeed

Currently we notify a voltage change whenever we exit set_voltage(),
even if the change failed for some reason (eg, a constraints issue).
This shouldn't cause any substantial ill effects but is wasteful as
listeners get notified on noops. Fix this by moving the notification
into _do_set_voltage() and only notifying if we don't return an error.
