Subject: [PATCH AUTOSEL 4.19 087/258] thermal: Fix locking in cooling device sysfs update cur_state

From: Thara Gopinath <thara.gopinath@...aro.org>

[ Upstream commit 68000a0d983f539c95ebe5dccd4f29535c7ac0af ]

Sysfs interface to update cooling device cur_state does not
currently holding cooling device lock sometimes leading to
stale values in cur_state if getting updated simultanelously
from user space and thermal framework. Adding the proper locking
code fixes this issue.
