[RFC PATCH 4/5] thermal: cpu_cooling: Release the upper cooling limit checks

[Amit Daniel Kachhap]

This is required as with addition of cpufreq cooling notifiers
mechanism the client can enable some more cooling states at a later
point of time. Say when minimum p state is reached then ACPI specific
throttling is enabled which may add some more cooling states.
