[PATCH] regulator: enable supply regulator only when use count is zero

[Bengt Jonsson]

Supply regulators are disabled only when the last
reference count is removed on the child regulator
(the use count goes from 1 to 0). This patch changes
the behaviour of enable so the supply regulator is
enabled only when the use count of the child
regulator goes from 0 to 1.
