[PATCH v3 5/8] ACPI: thermal: Hold thermal zone lock around trip updates

[Rafael J. Wysocki]

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

There is a race condition between acpi_thermal_trips_update() and
acpi_thermal_check_fn(), because the trip points may get updated while
the latter is running which in theory may lead to inconsistent results.
For example, if two trips are updated together, using the temperature
value of one of them from before the update and the temperature value
of the other one from after the update may not lead to the expected
outcome.

To address this, make acpi_thermal_trips_update() hold the thermal zone
lock across the entire update of trip points.

While at it, change the acpi_thermal_trips_update() return data type
to void as that function always returns 0 anyway.

v2 -> v3: No changes.

v1 -> v2:
   * Hold the thermal zone lock instead of thermal_check_lock around trip
     point updates (this also helps to protect thermal_get_trend() from using
     stale trip temperatures).
   * Add a comment documenting the purpose of the locking.
   * Make acpi_thermal_trips_update() void.
