thermal: core: move tz->device.groups cleanup to thermal_release

The device_unregister call in thermal_zone_device_unregister causes the
thermal_zone_device structure to be freed before the call to free the
dynamically allocated attribute groups. This leads to a kernel panic.

Furthermore, the 4 calls to free the trip point attribute structures
occur before the call to unregister the device, leading to a kernel
panic when sysfs attempts to access the attributes to remove them.

Here is an example of a kernel panic when the cpu thermal zones are
removed upon cpu offline:
BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at (null)

the thermal_class's thermal_zone_device release function.
