[PATCH] thermal: link the virtual/thermal/thermal_zoneN device for hwmon

[Rene Herman]

2.6.26-rc gained a hwmon interface to the ACPI Thermal Zone
driver which unfortunately breaks lm-sensors 2 userspace and
renders all other (subsequent) hwmon sensors inoperable also.

Many systems, current slackware systems among them, are still
using lm-sensors 2 and would be affected.

The problem is userspace tripping over an absent "device"
link in the ACPI Thermal Zone sysfs /sys/class/hwmon/hwmonN
directory. This just adds the virtual "thermal/thermal_zoneN"
device as a device backlink which satisfies lm-sensors again.

Tested and looks fairly obvious, but this wants comment from
a thermal_zone person, to confirm/deny that this is a proper
device pointer to use here for one.
