Subject: [PATCH] drivers/misc: elide a non-zero test on a result that is never
 0

The function thermal_cooling_device_register always returns either a valid
pointer or a value made with ERR_PTR, so a test for non-zero on the result
will always succeed.

The problem was found using the following semantic match.

E = thermal_cooling_device_register(...)

E = NULL
