Ziyang Xuan 3f25451eae thermal/core: fix a UAF bug in __thermal_cooling_device_register()
[ Upstream commit 0a5c26712f ]

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.

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

[dlezcano]: as requested by Rafael, change the affectation into two statements.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
