The thermal sysfs handler keeps the statistics table with the fixed
size that was determined from the initial max_states() call, and the
table entry is updated at each sysfs cur_state write call.  And, when
the driver's set_cur_state() ops accepts the value given from
user-space, the thermal sysfs core blindly applies it to the
statistics table entry, which may overflow and cause an Oops.
Although it's rather a bug in the driver's ops implementations, we
shouldn't crash but rather give a proper warning instead.

This patch adds a sanity check for avoiding such an OOB access and
warns with a stack trace to show the suspicious device in question.

We've hit some crash by stress tests, and this patch at least works
around the crash itself.  While the actual bug fix of the buggy driver
is still being investigated, I submit the hardening in the core side
at first.
