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

Revert commit 1192aeb957402b45f311895f124e4ca41206843c ("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:
