Subject: [PATCH v2] thermal/core: fix a UAF bug in __thermal_cooling_device_register()

When device_register() return failed, program will goto out_kfree_type
to release 'cdev->device' by put_device(). That will call thermal_release()
to free 'cdev'. But the follow-up processes access 'cdev' continually.
That trggers the UAF bug.

Do not use 'cdev' again after put_device() to fix the problem like doing
in thermal_zone_device_register().
