[PATCH] macintosh: therm_adt746x: fix memory leak on kthread failure

probe_thermostat() allocates the thermostat state before creating the
monitoring kthread. If kthread_run() fails with -ENOMEM, the function
returns immediately without freeing the allocated state.

Since probe fails, remove_thermostat() will not be called, so the
allocation is leaked.

Free the thermostat state before returning from the kthread creation
failure path.

This issue was found by manual code inspection.
