Subject: [PATCH] thermal: step_wise: set throttle target within thermal instance limits

When selecting a target cooling state in get_target_state(), make sure
that the state is at least as high as the minimum when the temperature
is rising and at least as low as the maximum when the temperature is
falling.  This is necessary because, in the THREAML_TREND_RAISING and
THERMAL_TREND_DROPPING cases, the current state may only be incremented
or decremented by one even if it is outside the bounds of the thermal
instance.  This might occur, for example, if the CPU is heating up
and hits a thermal trip point for the first time when it's frequency
is much higher than the range specified by the thermal instance
corresponding to the trip point.
