[PATCH v2] thermal: core: Fix list sorting in __thermal_zone_device_update()

From: Rafael J. Wysocki

From: Rafael J. Wysocki <rafael.j.wysocki@xxxxxxxxx>

The order in which lists are sorted in __thermal_zone_device_update()
is reverse with respect to what it should be due to a mistake in
thermal_trip_notify_cmp().

Fix it and observe that it is not necessary to sort the lists in
different orders. They can both be sorted in ascending order if
way_down_list is walked in reverse order which allows the code to
be slightly more straightforward (and less prone to silly mistakes).

This supersedes

https://lore.kernel.org/linux-pm/2745398.mvXUDI8C0e@xxxxxxxxxxxxx/

and hence v2.

It is urgent and I have verified that it actually works, so I'm going to
fast track it to get it into final 6.10.
