    Revert commit 1192aeb9 ("ACPI:
    drivers/acpi: elide a non-zero test on a result that is never 0")
    because it turns out that thermal_cooling_device_register() does
    actually return NULL if CONFIG_THERMAL is turned off (then the routine
    turns into a dummy inline routine in the header files that returns NULL
    unconditionally).
    
    This was found with randconfig testing, causing a crash during bootup:
    
      initcall 0x78878534 ran for 13 msecs: acpi_button_init+0x0/0x51()
      Calling initcall 0x78878585: acpi_fan_init+0x0/0x2c()
