* [PATCH V4] mfd: wm8994-core: Don't use managed regulator bulk get API

The kernel WARNs and then crashes today if wm8994_device_init() fails
after calling devm_regulator_bulk_get().

That happens because there are multiple devices involved here and the
order in which managed resources are freed isn't correct.

The regulators are added as children of wm8994->dev.  Whereas,
devm_regulator_bulk_get() receives wm8994->dev as the device, though it
gets the same regulators which were added as children of wm8994->dev
earlier.

During failures, the children are removed first and the core eventually
calls regulator_unregister() for them. As regulator_put() was never done
for them (opposite of devm_regulator_bulk_get()), the kernel WARNs at

	WARN_ON(rdev->open_count);

And eventually it crashes from debugfs_remove_recursive().

Fix the kernel warnings and crashes by using regulator_bulk_get()
instead of devm_regulator_bulk_get() and explicitly freeing the supplies
in exit paths.

Tested on Exynos 5250, dual core ARM A15 machine.

V3->V4:
- Send the right version of the patch, sent the older one by mistake earlier.

V2->V3:
- Fixed a rebase conflict
- sending only one patch with Charles Ack

V1->V2:
- Use regulator_bulk_free() instead of open coding it.
- Shorter backtrace
- Reworded the last paragraph to make it more clear
- Added a comment in code
