Subject: [PATCH RESEND] regulator: Fix possible nullpointer dereference in regulator_enable()

In the case where _regulator_enable returns an error it was not checked
if a supplying regulator exists before trying to disable it, leading
to a null pointer-dereference if no supplying regulator existed.
