CVE-2022-50250

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

regulator: core: fix use_count leakage when handling boot-on

I found a use_count leakage towards supply regulator of rdev with
boot-on option.

           
  regulator_dev A               regulator_dev B  
     (boot-on)                     (boot-on)     
    use_count=0    supply    use_count=1    
                                                 
           

In case of rdev(A) configured with `regulator-boot-on', the use_count
of supplying regulator(B) will increment inside
regulator_enable(rdev->supply).

Thus, B will acts like always-on, and further balanced
regulator_enable/disable cannot actually disable it anymore.

However, B was also configured with `regulator-boot-on', we wish it
could be disabled afterwards.
