thermal/core: Fix memory leak in __thermal_cooling_device_register()
[ Upstream commit 98a160e898c0f4a979af9de3ab48b4b1d42d1dbb ]
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)

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