regulator: Fix deadlock during regulator registration
commit a2151374230820a3a6e654f2998b2a44dbfae4e1 upstream. Commit 5e3ca2b349b1 ("regulator: Try to resolve regulators supplies on registration") added a call to regulator_resolve_supply() within regulator_register() where the regulator_list_mutex is held. This causes a deadlock to occur on the Tegra114 Dalmore board when the palmas PMIC is registered because regulator_register_resolve_supply() calls regulator_dev_lookup() which may try to acquire the regulator_list_mutex again. Fix this by releasing the mutex before calling regulator_register_resolve_supply() and update the error exit path to ensure the mutex is released on an error.
