[PATCH v2] thermal:core:fix: Check return code of the ->get_max_state() callback

[Lukasz Majewski]

The return code from ->get_max_state() callback was not checked during
binding cooling device to thermal zone device.

Changes for v2:
- It turned out that patches from 1 to 6 from v1 are not needed, since
  they either already solve the problem (like imx_thermal.c) or not use
  cpufreq as a thermal cooling device.
- The patch 7 from v1 is also not needed since this patch on error exits
  this function without using max_state variable.
- In thermal driver probe the cpufreq_cooling_register() method presence
  is crucial to evaluate if the thermal driver needs any actions with 
  -EPROBE_DEFER.
