thermal: check validity get_trip_hyst function pointer in bang-bang governor

Bang-bang thermal governor uses trip point hysteresis to make decisions.
Hysteresis is a required property in the device tree for trip points, but it is
an optional thermal zone device operation. Hence, we need to check whether the
function pointer is valid or not.

If it is not available, we assume the hysteresis to be zero. Consequently, a
highly varying temperature will make the governor continuosly switch a cooling
device ON and OFF.
