This code accidentally calls thermal_zone_device_enable() before checking
whether thermal_zone_device_register_with_trips() failed.  Move the call
until later to avoid an error pointer dereference of "priv->zone".

The driver works differently depending on if we are using OF thermal or
not.  We use thermal_add_hwmon_sysfs() if we are using OF thermal and
call thermal_zone_device_enable() if not.  We can share same error check
for if either of these fail.

Moving the thermal_zone_device_enable() call is a bit cleaner as well.
The original code used a three step process to cleanup:
1. Call thermal_zone_device_unregister() to cleanup.
2. Set priv->zone to an error pointer to preserve the error code.
3. Set priv->zone to NULL to avoid a second call to
   thermal_zone_device_unregister() in the rcar_thermal_remove()
   function.

Now we can just do a direct goto error_unregister and rcar_thermal_remove()
handles the cleanup properly.

v2: Use the correct fixes tag and re-write the check in a cleaner way.
v3: Share the same error checking as a further cleanup.  The
    thermal_add_hwmon_sysfs() and thermal_zone_device_enable() functions
    really do serve the same purpose even though their names are
    different.
