The of_cpufreq_cooling_register() should be called after the EM
is present for the CPU device. When you check that function,
you will see that we call
em_cpu_get(policy->cpu)
to get the EM pointer. Otherwise IPA might fail.

So please move these new code above the thermal registration few lines
above.

Here is similar situation. Move the EM unregister after the thermal is
done. For consistency it's OK, the real EM struct won't be freed
for CPUs (due to scheduler reasons), though.
