thermal/core: Fix memory leak in __thermal_cooling_device_register()

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

thermal/core: Fix memory leak in __thermal_cooling_device_register()

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

unreferenced object 0xffff888010080000 (size 264312):

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