Subject: [PATCH v5 6/6] regulator: Use driver_deferred_probe_timeout for regulator_init_complete_work

The regulator_init_complete_work logic defers the cleanup for an
arbitrary 30 seconds of time to allow modules loaded by userland
to start.

This arbitrary timeout is similar to the
driver_deferred_probe_timeout value, and its been suggested we
align these so users have a method to extend the timeouts as
needed.

So this patch changes the logic to use the
driver_deferred_probe_timeout value for the delay value if it
is set (using a delay of 0 if it is not).

v4:
* Split out into its own patch, as suggested by Mark
v5:
* Try to simplify the logic a touch as suggested by Bjorn
