Thermal: Introduce a step_wise thermal governor
This patch adds a simple step_wise governor to the generic thermal layer. This algorithm throttles the cooling devices in a linear fashion. If the 'trend' is heating, it throttles by one step. And if the thermal trend is cooling it de-throttles by one step. This actually moves the throttling logic from thermal_sys.c and puts inside step_wise.c, without any change.
