PATCH v2 1/1 tools/thermal: fix typo "binded" in comments

"binded" is not a word; the past participle of "bind" is "bound".

The tmon.h comment counts cooling devices, so the noun is plural there, matching the wording already used for MAX_NR_CDEV_TRIP. The tui.c clause needs "is" to read as a sentence.

Only touches comments, no code changes.

Randy, your Reviewed-by was for the v1 series; the two hunks below changed after it, so please say if you would rather I dropped the tag.

v2: tmon.h: "cooling device" -> "cooling devices". Randy Dunlap pointed
out the comment counts devices, and MAX_NR_CDEV_TRIP just above it already uses the plural.

tui.c: "is bound to" rather than plain "bound to". v1 left the comment reading "trip point id that bound to this cdev", which is still not a sentence.

sysfs.c is unchanged from v1.
