[PATCH] thermal/core: cooling device duplicate creation check

[Qibo Huang <huangqibo.tech@gmail.com>]

Because creating a cooling device may have duplicate names.
When creating, first check thermal_cdev_list whether
there is a device with the same name. If it has the same name,
it returns a reference to the cooling device.
