Make get_trip_level() access the thermal zone's trip table directly
instead of using __thermal_zone_get_trip() which adds overhead related
to the unnecessary bounds checking and copying the trip point data.

Also rearrange the code in it to make it somewhat easier to follow.

The general functionality is not expected to be changed.

Is it possible to use for_each_thermal_trip() instead ? That would make
the code more self-encapsulate

It is possible in principle, but this is a governor which is regarded
as part of the core, isn't it?

So is an extra overhead related to using a callback (which may be
subject to retpolines and such) really justified in this case?

From my POV, all trip points browsing should be replaced by for_each_thermal_trip() so any change in the future in how we go through the existing thermal trips will impact one place.

If the routine needs to be optimized, that is something we can do also (may be an inline the callback?)
