[PATCH] thermal: create softlink by name for thermal_zone and cooling_device

[Wei Wang]

The paths thermal_zone%d and cooling_device%d are not intuitive and the
numbers are subject to change due to device tree change. This usually
leads to tree traversal in userspace code.
The patch creates `tz-by-name' and `cdev-by-name' for thermal zone and
cooling_device respectively.
