thermal_sys: check get_temp return value
The return value of the get_temp function is not checked when doing a
thermal zone update. This may lead to a critical shutdown if get_temp
fails and the content of the temp variable is incorrectly set higher than
the critical trip point.
This has been observed on a system with incorrect ACPI implementation
where the corresponding methods were not serialized and therefore
sometimes triggered ACPI errors (AE_ALREADY_EXISTS). The following
critical shutdowns indicated a temperature of 2097 C, which was obviously
wrong.
The patch adds a return value check that jumps over all trip point
evaluations printing a warning if get_temp fails. The trip points are
evaluated again on the next polling interval with successful get_temp
execution.
