All the governors throttling ops are taking/releasing the lock at the
beginning and the end of the function.
We can move the mutex to the throttling call site instead.

The thermal zone lock is taken in the different places in the
throttling path.
At the first glance it does not hurt to move them at the beginning and
the end of the 'throttle' function. That will allow a consolidation of
the lock in the next following changes.

The trends DROP_FULL and RAISE_FULL are not used and were never used
in the past AFAICT. Remove these conditions as they seems to not be
handled anywhere.

The code is actually clampling the next cooling device state using the
lowest and highest states of the thermal instance.
That code can be replaced by the clamp() macro which does exactly the
same. It results in a simpler routine to read.

The code was reorganized in 2012 with the commit 0c01ebbfd3.
The main change is a loop on the trip points array and a unconditional
call to the throttle() ops of the governors for each of them even if
the trip temperature is not reached yet.
With this change, the 'forced_passive' is no longer checked in the
thermal_zone_device_update() function but in the step wise governor's
throttle() callback.
As the force_passive does no belong to the trip point array, the
thermal_zone_device_update() can not compare with the specified
passive temperature, thus does not detect the passive limit has been
crossed. Consequently, throttle() is never called and the
'forced_passive' branch is unreached.
In addition, the default processor cooling device is not automatically
bound to the thermal zone if there is not passive trip point, thus the
'forced_passive' can not operate.
If there is an active trip point, then the throttle function will be
called to mitigate at this temperature and the 'forced_passive' will
override the mitigation of the active trip point in this case but with
the default cooling device bound to the thermal zone, so usually a
fan, and that is not a passive cooling effect.
Given the regression exists since more than 8 years, nobody complained
and at the best of my knowledge there is no bug open in
https://bugzilla.kernel.org, it is reasonable to say it is unused.
Remove the 'forced_passive' related code.
