Since commit

 13f4e660a126 ("thermal/core: Split __thermal_cooling_device_register()
                into two functions")

thermal_cooling_device_setup_sysfs() is called before the
->get_max_state() callback in thermal_cooling_device_add().
However, cooling_device_stats_setup() allocates space based on
cdev->max_state, which is not initialized at that point.

With CONFIG_THERMAL_STATISTICS=y, an out of bounds access happens
inside thermal_cooling_device_stats_update(), followed by a kernel
crash:

Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address ffff800081329e60

To fix this, restore the original ordering of ->get_max_state() and
thermal_cooling_device_setup_sysfs(). Note that with this reordering,
the dev_set_name() and ->get_max_state() error paths now reach
thermal_cdev_release() without setup_sysfs() having run. This is safe
because cdev->stats is NULL in that case and destroy_sysfs() is a no-op.
