[PATCH] thermal: Fix locking in cooling device sysfs update cur_state

From: Thara Gopinath
Date: Wed Nov 21 2018 - 14:01:37 EST


Sysfs interface to update cooling device cur_state does not
currently hold cooling device lock, leading to stale values
in cur_state especially if getting updated simultanelously
from user space and thermal framework. Adding the proper locking
code fixes this issue.
