Subject: [PATCH 1/3 v2] thermal: core: Add some new helper functions to free resources

In order to easily free resources allocated by
'thermal_zone_create_device_groups()' we need 2 new helper functions.

The first one undoes 'thermal_zone_create_device_groups()'.
The 2nd one undoes 'create_trip_attrs()', which is a function called by
'thermal_zone_create_device_groups()'.

Signed-off-by: Christophe JAILLET <christophe.jaillet@...adoo.fr>

These functions will be used in patch 2/3 in order to simplify
'thermal_release()'
I've tried to implement it as close a possible as the way the resources have
been allocated.
However, in 'thermal_release()', the code is simplier without some
additionnal 'if'.
No sure if we should prefer consistancy with allocation or simplicity of code.
