Subject: [PATCH 5.0 332/346] regulator: wm831x: Fix notifier mutex lock warning

[ Upstream commit 119c4f5085c45b60cb23c5595e45d06135b89518 ]

The mutex for the regulator_dev must be controlled by the caller of
the regulator_notifier_call_chain(), as described in the comment
for that function.

Failure to mutex lock and unlock surrounding the notifier call results
in a kernel WARN_ON_ONCE() which will dump a backtrace for the
regulator_notifier_call_chain() when that function call is first made.
The mutex can be controlled using the regulator_lock/unlock() API.
