Sysfs interface to update cooling device cur_state does not
currently hold cooling device lock, leading to stale values
in cur_state especially if getting updated simultanelously
from user space and thermal framework. Adding the proper locking
code fixes this issue.

I suggest to invert the condition:

	mutex_lock(&cdev->lock);
	result = cdev->ops->set_cur_state(cdev, state);
	if (!result)
		thermal_cooling_device_stats_update(cdev, state);
	mutex_unlock(&cdev->lock);

	return result ? result : count;


The same problem is there for the cur_state_show() callback.
