regulator core: fix double-free in regulator_register() error path
During regulator registration, any error after device_register() will cause a double-free on the struct regulator_dev 'rdev'. The bug is in drivers/regulator/core.c:regulator_register(): ... scrub: device_unregister(&rdev->dev); clean: kfree(rdev); <--- rdev = ERR_PTR(ret); goto out; ... device_unregister() calls regulator_dev_release() which frees rdev. The subsequent kfree corrupts memory and causes some OMAP3 systems to oops on boot in regulator_get(). Applies against 2.6.30-rc3.
