regulator: Ensure unique regulator debugfs directory names

If multiple regulator devices of the same type exist in a system,
the regulator driver assigns generic names for the regulators it
provides, and debugfs is enabled, the regulator subsystem attempts
to create multiple entries with the same name in the regulator debugfs
directory. This fails for all but the first regulator, resulting in
multiple "Failed to create debugfs directory" log entries.

To avoid the problem, prepend the debugfs directory name for a regulator
with its parent device name if available, but only if no explicit
regulator name was provided.
