acpi thermal: fix result check
thermal_zone_device_register() uses the ERR_PTR macro on its return values. A correct check is to use the IS_ERR() macro. The 2.6.25 kernels panic on Compaq AP550 without this patch as it has more then 10 (THERMAL_MAX_TRIPS) trip points (there are 12). Signed-off-by: Krzysztof Helt <krzysztof.h1@wp.pl> Cc: "Rafael J.
