thermal/core: fix a UAF bug in __thermal_cooling_device_register()
When device_register() return failed, program will goto out_kfree_type
to release 'cdev->device' by put_device(). That will call thermal_release()
to free 'cdev'. But the follow-up processes access 'cdev' continually.
That trggers the UAF bug.

====================================================================
BUG: KASAN: use-after-free in __thermal_cooling_device_register+0x75b/0xa90
Hardware name: QEMU Standard PC (i440FX + PIIX, 1996), BIOS 1.13.0-1ubuntu1.1 04/01/2014

Do not use 'cdev' again after put_device() to fix the problem like doing
in thermal_zone_device_register().
