platform/x86: thinkpad_acpi: Fix NULL pointer dereferences while probing
Some subdrivers make use of the global reference tpacpi_pdev during initialization, which is called from the platform driver's probe. However, after the commit 38b9ab8 ("platform/x86: thinkpad_acpi: Move subdriver initialization to tpacpi_pdriver's probe.") this variable is only properly initialized *after* probing and this can result in a NULL pointer dereference. In order to fix this without reverting the commit, register the platform bundle in two steps, first create and initialize tpacpi_pdev, then register the driver synchronously with platform_driver_probe(). This way the benefits of commit 38b9ab8 are preserved. Additionally, the commit 43fc63a ("platform/x86: thinkpad_acpi: Move HWMON initialization to tpacpi_hwmon_pdriver's probe") introduced a similar problem, however tpacpi_sensors_pdev is only used once inside the probe, so replace the global reference with the one given by the probe.
