ACPI: drivers/acpi: elide a non-zero test on a result that is never 0

Author: Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk>

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.
(http://www.emn.fr/x-info/coccinelle/)

//

expression E, E1;

E = thermal_cooling_device_register(...)
