In preparation for the upcoming changes separating OF and non-OF code,
split __thermal_cooling_device_register() into allocation and addition
phases.

This allows moving the device node assignment out of the core
initialization path.

This change is not a trivial split. The lifetime of the cooling device
is managed by the device core through put_device(), which triggers
thermal_release() to free all associated resources.

With the introduction of thermal_cooling_device_alloc(), the allocation
path must mirror what thermal_release() undoes. In contrast,
thermal_cooling_device_add() must not perform any rollback and relies
on put_device() for cleanup on error paths. This avoids both double
free and resource leaks.

As part of this rework, add the missing device_initialize() call when
allocating the cooling device.
