ASoC: sgtl5000: Fix driver unbound

Using the sgtl5000 codec driver as a module and trying to remove it causes the
followig kernel oops:

This problem is well explained by Russell King:

"The sgtl5000 uses a two-stage initialisation process.  The first stage
is when the platform driver is probed, where some resources are found
and initialised.  The second stage is via the codec driver's probe
function, where regulators are found and initialised using the managed
resource support.

The problem here is that this works fine until the codec driver is
unbound.  When this occurs, sgtl5000_remove() is called which is a no-op
as far as the managed resource code is concerned.  The regulators remain
allocated, and their pointers in sgtl5000_priv remain valid.

If the codec is now re-probed, it will again try and find the regulators,
which will now be busy.  This will fail.

That's not the only problem - if using the LDO regulator, the regulator
is unregistered from the regulator core code, but it still has a user.
When the user is cleaned up (eg, by removing the module) it hits the
free'd regulator, and this can oops the kernel.

This bug was originally introduced by 63e54cd9caa3ce ("ASoC: sgtl5000:
Use devm_regulator_bulk_get()")."

This reverts commit 63e54cd9caa3ce.

Tested on a imx53-qsb board.
