regulator/gpio: Allow nonexclusive GPIO access
This allows nonexclusive (simultaneous) access to a single GPIO line for the fixed regulator enable line. This happens when several regulators use the same GPIO for enabling and disabling a regulator, and all need a handle on their GPIO descriptor. This solution with a special flag is not entirely elegant and should ideally be replaced by something more careful as this makes it possible for several consumers to enable/disable the same GPIO line to the left and right without any consistency. The current use inside the regulator core should however be fine as it takes special care to handle this. For the state of the GPIO backend, this is still the lesser evil compared to going back to global GPIO numbers.
