I think you need to hold cdev->lock here, to make sure that no thermal
zone is added or removed from cdev->thermal_instances while you are looping.

Why list_for_each_entry_safe() ?  You are not going to remove any
entry, so you can just use list_for_each_entry()

Why is this so complicated?  Can't you just do:

	list_for_each_entry(pos, &cdev->thermal_instances, cdev_node)
        	thermal_zone_device_update(pos->tz);
