regulator: Fix recursive mutex lockdep warning



A recursive lockdep warning occurs if you call
regulator_set_optimum_mode() on a regulator with a supply because
there is no nesting annotation for the rdev->mutex. To avoid this
warning, get the supply's load before locking the regulator's
mutex to avoid grabbing the same class of lock twice.

=============================================
[ INFO: possible recursive locking detected ]
3.4.0 #3257 Tainted: G        W
---------------------------------------------
swapper/0/1 is trying to acquire lock:
 (&rdev->mutex){+.+.+.}, at: [<c036e9e0>] regulator_get_voltage+0x18/0x38

but task is already holding lock:
 (&rdev->mutex){+.+.+.}, at: [<c036ef38>] regulator_set_optimum_mode+0x24/0x224

other info that might help us debug this:
 Possible unsafe locking scenario:

       CPU0
       ----
  lock(&rdev->mutex);
  lock(&rdev->mutex);

 *** DEADLOCK ***

 May be due to missing lock nesting notation
