[Impact]
Surprising thermal shutdown at boot on Intel based mobile workstations.

[Fix]
Since these thermal devcies are not in ACPI ThermalZone, OS shouldn't
shutdown the system.

These critial temperatures are for usespace to handle, so let kernel
know it shouldn't handle it.

[Test]
Use reboot stress as a reproducer. 5% chance to see a surprising
shutdown at boot.

With the fix applied, the thermal shutdown is no longer reproducible.

[Where problems could occur]
For ACPI based platforms, we still have "acpitz" to protect systems from
overheating. If these acpitz sensors don't work, then the system could
face real overheating issue.

  thermal/core: Emit a warning if the thermal zone is updated without
    ops
  thermal/core: Add critical and hot ops
  thermal/drivers/acpi: Use hot and critical ops
  thermal/drivers/rcar: Remove notification usage
  thermal/core: Remove notify ops
