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.
