Subject: [PATCH 4.16 086/279] thermal: int3403_thermal: Fix NULL pointer deref on module load / probe

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

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

From: Hans de Goede <hdegoede@...hat.com>

[ Upstream commit 13b86f50eaaddaea4bdd2fe476fd12e6a0951add ]

Starting with kernel 4.17 thermal_cooling_device_register() will call the
get_max_state() op during register.

Since we deref priv->priv in int3403_get_max_state() this means we must
set priv->priv before calling thermal_cooling_device_register().
