These functions are fairly pointless as they're so small, and they're
misnamed as they only lock a single parent but the name suggests it's
going to lock multiple things (I'd expect all the coupled regulators or
something from the name).

Just put the check into regulator_balance_coupled() rather than doing it
at every call site.

Where is the elsewhere?  I'm worried this is going to make things more
confusing.
