regulator: avoid deadlock when disabling regulator with supply


I have a regulator A that sets regulator B as its supply. When I call
set_supply to add B as the supply for A, regulator A gets added to the
supply_list for regulator B.

When I call regulator_disable(A), I end up with a call chain like this:

regulator_disable(A)
> mutex_lock(A)
> _regulator_disable(A)
>> _regulator_disable(B)
>>> _notifier_call_chain(B)
>>>> mutex_lock(A)

Which results in dead lock since we are trying to acquire the mutex lock
for regulator A which we already hold.

This patch addresses this issue by moving the call to disable regulator
B outside of the lock aquired inside the initial call to
regulator_disable.

This change also addresses the issue of not acquiring the mutex for
regulator B before calling _regulator_disable(B).
