ACPI: processor: thermal: Use thermal_cooling_device_create()

Instead of using thermal_cooling_device_register() for registering
a cooling device in the ACPI processor driver, make it use
thermal_cooling_device_create() and pass a pointer to the processor
device representing the given CPU to that function as the cooling
device's parent.  That will cause the cooling device's sysfs directory
to be created under the parent's sysfs directory (among other things).

Since creating a class device under a parent causes a "device" symbolic
link from the sysfs directory of the class device to the sysfs directory
of the parent to appear automatically, remove the code creating the
"device" symbolic link from the sysfs directory of the cooling device
in question to the sysfs directory of the parent's companion ACPI
device.  That ACPI device is reachable through the "firmware_node"
symbolic link in the parent's sysfs directory regardless.

Moreover, since the cooling device is now located in sysfs under its
parent and it can be easily identified as a cooling device, there is
no need to create a "thermal_cooling" symbolic link from its parent's
ACPI companion to it.  Accordingly, also remove the code creating that
symbolic link.

While at it, check for error pointer values in addition to checking
for NULL in acpi_processor_thermal_exit() to avoid dereferencing them
mistakenly.
