Subject: Thermal: Ignore invalid trip points

From: Zhang Rui <[email protected]>

commit 81ad4276b505e987dd8ebbdf63605f92cd172b52 upstream.

In some cases, platform thermal driver may report invalid trip points, thermal core should not take any action for these trip points.

This fixed a regression that bogus trip point starts to screw up thermal control on some Lenovo laptops, after
commit bb431ba26c5cd0a17c941ca6c3a195a3a6d5d461

Thermal: initialize thermal zone device correctly

After thermal zone device registered, as we have not read any temperature before, thus tz->temperature should not be 0, which actually means 0C, and thermal trend is not available. In this case, we need specially handling for the first thermal_zone_device_update().

Both thermal core framework and step_wise governor is enhanced to handle this. And since the step_wise governor is the only one that uses trends, so it's the only thermal governor that needs to be updated.
