Subject: [PATCH v4 07/22] regulator: core: Reduce critical area in _regulator_get

By moving the locking of regulator_list_mutex into regulator_dev_lookup,
where it is iterated over. The reference count of the regulator's device
is increased in case it's unregistered while in use.

In _regulator_get() the regulator_list_mutex mutex was held for most of
the function, but that is only strictly needed to protect the list
lookups.

This change would be useful if for example regulator devices could be
registered on demand when a driver requests them. regulator_register()
could end up being called from within _regulator_get while the lock on
regulator_list_mutex is being held, causing a deadlock.

This sequence illustrates the situation described above:

tegra_hdmi_probe
	_regulator_get
		regulator_dev_lookup
			of_device_probe
				reg_fixed_voltage_probe
					regulator_register

Signed-off-by: Tomeu Vizoso <tomeu.vizoso@...labora.com>

Changes in v4:
- Take a reference to the regulator's device to prevent dangling
  pointers

Changes in v3:
- Avoid unlocking the regulator device's mutex if we don't have a device

Changes in v2:
- Acquire regulator device lock before returning from regulator_dev_lookup()
