Subject: [PATCH v6 4/5] thermal: power_allocator: don't require tzp to be present for the thermal zone

Thermal zones created using thermal_zone_device_create() may not have
tzp.  As the governor gets its parameters from there, allocate it while
the governor is bound to the thermal zone so that it can operate in it.
In this case, tzp is freed when the thermal zone switches to another
governor.

While this would be easier to do by just ignoring the thermal zone if
there was no tzp, I think the approach in this patch provides a more
consistent behavior for the system integrator as it doesn't make a
distinction between thermal zones created with tzp and those that don't.
