Subject: [PATCH RESEND 3/4] regulator: avoid resolve_supply() infinite
 recursion

When a regulator's name equals its supply's name the
regulator_resolve_supply() recurses indefinitely. Add a check
so that debugging the problem is easier. The "fixed" commit
just exposed the problem.

Fixes: aea6cb99703e ("regulator: resolve supply after creating regulator")
