 Since deferred probing is done in late_initcall(), do the cleanup of
 unused regulators by regulator_init_complete in late_initcall_sync
 instead of late_initcall.

I'll apply this however since as we discussed on IRC last night it's
going to make the issues with unconfigured regulators getting powered
off more severe before I do so I'll change things so that regulators
with no configuration at all don't get touched by the core.

Applies on v3.15-rc2 and on next-20140423
Original post: https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/2545061/

I rediscovered this patch many times now :(:
Latest Example: https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/4044811/
http://slexy.org/raw/s21MCHgeJo shows none of the unused regulators are disabled
and with this fix:
http://slexy.org/raw/s2TH36cThR (which auto disables unused regulators).

Ccying Markus as author of 66fda75f47dc (regulator: core: Replace
direct ops-disable usage) he might be interested as well.

Btw, this might open up a lot of broken boards - like we discovered
for DRA7 - so it might be a good idea for next instead of current rc
cyle giving it some time to cook and get platforms fixed.
