Subject: [Patch-next -v2]therm_throt.c: Trival fix for a unsuitable  abbreviation
 of thermal.

In unexpected_thermal_interrupt(), "LVT TMR interrupt" is used
in error message.

I don't think TMR is a suitable abbreviation for thermal.
  1.TMR has been used in IA32 Architectures Software Developer's
    Manual, and is the abbreviation for Trigger Mode Register.
  2.There is not an standard abbreviation "TMR" defined for thermal
    in IA32 Architectures Software Developer's Manual.
  3.Though we could understand it as Thermal Monitor Register, it is
    easy to be misunderstood as a *TIMER* interrupt also.

I think this patch will fix it.
