regulator: core: fix deadlock on regulator enable

commit cb3543cff90a4448ed560ac86c98033ad5fecda9 upstream.

When updating the operating mode as part of regulator enable, the caller
has already locked the regulator tree and drms_uA_update() must not try
to do the same in order not to trigger a deadlock.

The lock inversion is reported by lockdep as:

  ======================================================
  WARNING: possible circular locking dependency detected
  6.1.0-next-20221215 #142 Not tainted
  ------------------------------------------------------
  udevd/154 is trying to acquire lock:
  ffffc11f123d7e50 (regulator_list_mutex){+.+.}-{3:3}, at: regulator_lock_dependent+0x54/0x280

  but task is already holding lock:
  ffff80000e4c36e8 (regulator_ww_class_acquire){+.+.}-{0:0}, at: regulator_enable+0x34/0x80

  which lock already depends on the new lock.

  ...

   Possible unsafe locking scenario:

         CPU0                    CPU1
         ----                    ----
    lock(regulator_ww_class_acquire);
                                 lock(regulator_list_mutex);
                                 lock(regulator_ww_class_acquire);
    lock(regulator_list_mutex);

   *** DEADLOCK ***

just before probe of a Qualcomm UFS controller (occasionally) deadlocks
when enabling one of its regulators.

Fixes: f8702f9e4aa7 ("regulator: core: Use ww_mutex for regulators locking")
