[ Upstream commit 98a160e ]

I got memory leak as follows when doing fault injection test:

unreferenced object 0xffff888010080000 (size 264312):
  comm "182", pid 102533, jiffies 4296434960 (age 10.100s)
  hex dump (first 32 bytes):

If device_register() fails, thermal_cooling_device_destroy_sysfs() need be called
to free the memory allocated in thermal_cooling_device_setup_sysfs().
