Hi All,
These two patches simplify the registration and unregistration of thermal
governors.
They are intended for 7.2.
Thanks!

Since thermal_register_governor() is only called by
thermal_register_governors() which runs before clearing
thermal_class_unavailable, thermal_tz_list is guaranteed to be
empty when it runs, so the code walking that list in it is
effectively dead.
The same observation applies to the code walking thermal_tz_list
in thermal_unregister_governor() which is also called only if
thermal_class_unavailable hasn't been cleared.
Remove the dead code from both functions mentioned above and rearrange
thermal_register_governor() to reduce indentation level.
No intentional functional impact.

Thermal governors are only unregistered in the thermal_init() error
path and they actually are only deleted from thermal_governor_list.
Put the entire code needed to do that to thermal_unregister_governors()
and rearrange thermal_init() to call that function also when
thermal_register_governors() returns an error.
This allows thermal_unregister_governor() to be dropped
and thermal_register_governor() that is only called by
thermal_register_governors() can be made static __init, so the
headers of these two functions can be dropped from thermal_core.h.
No intentional functional impact.
