Subject: [PATCH 1/5] thermal: core: Add callback for governors with cooling instances change

Allow governors to react to the changes in the cooling instances list.
That makes possible to move memory allocations related to the number of
cooling instances out of the throttle() callback. The throttle() callback
is called much more often thus the cost of managing allocations there is
an extra overhead. The list of cooling instances is not changed that often
and it can be handled in dedicated callback. That will save CPU cycles
in the throttle() code path.  Both callbacks code paths are protected with
the same thermal zone lock, which guaranties the list of cooling instances
is consistent.
