[PATCH] regulator: core: Fix locking of GPIO list on free

[PATCH] regulator: core: Fix locking of GPIO list on free

[Mark Brown]

When we acquire a shareable enable GPIO on probe we do so with the
regulator_list_mutex held.  However when we release the GPIOs we do this
immediately after dropping the mutex meaning that the list could become
corrupted.  Move the release into the locked region to avoid this.

All being well this means that it will be integrated into the linux-next
tree (usually sometime in the next 24 hours) and sent to Linus during
the next merge window (or sooner if it is a bug fix), however if
problems are discovered then the patch may be dropped or reverted.
