Subject: [PATCH 5.6 159/161] platform/x86: sony-laptop: Make resuming thermal profile safer

From: Mattia Dongili <malattia@...ux.it>

commit 476d60b1b4c8a2b14a53ef9b772058f35e604661 upstream.

The thermal handle object may fail initialization when the module is
loaded in the first place. Avoid attempting to use it on resume then.

Fixes: 6d232b29cfce ("ACPICA: Dispatcher: always generate buffer objects for ASL create_field() operator")
