[PATCH V2 1/1] thermal/sysfs: Clear cooling_device_stats_attr_group before initialized

There's a space allocated for cooling_device_stats_attr_group
within cooling_device_attr_groups. This space is shared by all
cooling devices.

If the stats structure of one cooling device successfully
creates stats sysfs. After that, another cooling device fails
to get max_states in cooling_device_stats_setup(). It can
return directly without initializing the stats structure, but
the cooling_device_stats_attr_group is still the attribute
group of the last cooling device.

At this time, read or write stats sysfs nodes can cause kernel
crash. Like the following, kernel crashed when
'cat time_in_state_ms'.

stats sysfs:
phone:/sys/class/thermal/cooling_device2/stats # ls
reset time_in_state_ms total_trans trans_table

The same as cat total_trans, trans_table, and echo reset.

To avoid kernel crash, this patch set clears the
cooling_device_attr_groups before stats structure is initialized.
