regulator: push allocation in regulator_ena_gpio_request() out of lock

Move another allocation out of regulator_list_mutex-protected region, as
reclaim might want to take the same lock.

------------------------------------------------------
kswapd0/383 is trying to acquire lock:
c0e5d920 (regulator_list_mutex){+.+.}-{3:3}, at: regulator_lock_dependent+0x54/0x2c0

but task is already holding lock:
c0e38518 (fs_reclaim){+.+.}-{0:0}, at: __fs_reclaim_acquire+0x0/0x50

which lock already depends on the new lock.

the existing dependency chain (in reverse order) is:
