I got a UAF report as following:

==================================================================

Here is how happened:

processor A processor B
regulator_register()
rdev_init_debugfs()
rdev->debugfs = debugfs_create_dir()
devm_regulator_get()
rdev = regulator_dev_lookup()
create_regulator(rdev)
// using rdev->debugfs as parent
debugfs_create_dir(rdev->debugfs)

mfd_remove_devices_fn()
release_nodes()
regulator_unregister()
// free rdev->debugfs
debugfs_remove_recursive(rdev->debugfs)
release_nodes()
destroy_regulator()
debugfs_remove_recursive() <- causes UAF

In devm_regulator_get(), after getting rdev, the refcount
is get, so fix this by moving debugfs_remove_recursive()
to regulator_dev_release(), then it can be proctected by
the refcount, the 'rdev->debugfs' can not be freed until
the refcount is 0.
