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 thermal_check_lock
across the entire update of trip points.
