[PATCH v2] regulator: fixed: remove duplicate always-on handling

Regulator core already handles always-on property by enabling always-on
regulators at registration time, so we can remove duplicate handling in
the fixed-regulator driver. To avoid regressions due to previously
unnoticed unbalanced regulator usage, maintain a positive use count
always like Linux does and additionally warn on violation attempt.

v1 -> v2:
  - prevent use count dipping below 1 due to unbalanced use.
    This should avoid regressions and still warn us if they occur
