Subject: [PATCH 4.4 112/163] Revert "regulator: core: Fix nested locking of supplies"

4.4-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

This reverts commit b1999fa6e8145305a6c8bda30ea20783717708e6 which was
commit 70a7fb80e85ae7f78f8e90cec3fbd862ea6a4d4b upstream.

It causes run-time breakage in the 4.4-stable tree and more patches are
needed to be applied first before this one in order to resolve the
issue.
