thermal: Use thermal zone device id in netlink messages

This patch changes the function thermal_generate_netlink_event
to receive a thermal zone device instead of a originator id.

This way, the messages will always be bound to a thermal zone.

 netlink event. Netlink socket initialization is done during the _init_
 of the framework. Drivers which intend to use the notification mechanism
 just need to call thermal_generate_netlink_event() with two arguments viz
-(originator, event). Typically the originator will be an integer assigned
-to a thermal_zone_device when it registers itself with the framework. The
+(originator, event). The originator is a pointer to struct thermal_zone_device
+from where the event has been originated. An integer which represents the
+thermal zone device will be used in the message to identify the zone. The
 event will be one of:{THERMAL_AUX0, THERMAL_AUX1, THERMAL_CRITICAL,
 THERMAL_DEV_FAULT}. Notification can be sent when the current temperature
 crosses any of the configured thresholds.
