thermal: core: Move initial num_trips assignment before memcpy()
When booting a CONFIG_FORTIFY_SOURCE=y kernel compiled with a toolchain that supports __counted_by() (such as clang-18 and newer), there is a panic on boot: [ 2.913770] memcpy: detected buffer overflow: 72 byte write of buffer size 0 [ 2.920834] WARNING: CPU: 2 PID: 1 at lib/string_helpers.c:1027 __fortify_report+0x5c/0x74 ... [ 3.039208] Call trace: [ 3.041643] __fortify_report+0x5c/0x74 [ 3.045469] __fortify_panic+0x18/0x20 [ 3.049209] thermal_zone_device_register_with_trips+0x4c8/0x4f8 This panic occurs because trips is counted by num_trips but num_trips is assigned after the call to memcpy(), so the fortify checks think the buffer size is zero because tz was allocated with kzalloc(). Move the num_trips assignment before the memcpy() to resolve the panic and ensure that the fortify checks work properly.
