Subject: [ 50/68] thermal: shorten too long mcast group name

3.4-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------


From: Masatake YAMATO <yamato@...hat.com>

[ Upstream commits 73214f5d9f33b79918b1f7babddd5c8af28dd23d
  and f1e79e208076ffe7bad97158275f1c572c04f5c7, the latter
  adds an assertion to genetlink to prevent this from happening
  again in the future. ]

The original name is too long.
