While dealing with this problem, I found another problem that also
results in a kernel crash on thermal module removal:

Subject: [PATCH] thermal: hwmon: Make the check for critical temp valid consistent
We used the tz->ops->get_crit_temp && !tz->ops->get_crit_temp(tz, temp)
to decide if we need to create the temp_crit attribute file but we just
check if tz->ops->get_crit_temp exists to decide if we need to remove
that attribute file. Some ACPI thermal zone doesn't have a valid critical
trip point and that would result in removing a non-existent device file
on thermal module unload.

Commit b82715fdd4 introduces
a 'device' subdirectory under /sys/class/hwmon/hwmonX/ directory,
for the thermal_zone hwmon devices. And this results in different
handling by libsensors.
The problem is reported and discussed in this thread
http://marc.info/?l=linux-pm&m=138229306109596&w=2
This patch reverts commit b82715fdd4.

When creating virtual hwmon devices based out of thermal
zone devices, the virtual devices won't have parents.
This patch changes the code so that the parent of virtual
hwmon devices is the thermal zone device that they are
based of.

In order to improve code organization, this patch
moves the hwmon sysfs support to a file named
thermal_hwmon. This helps to add extra support
for hwmon without scrambling the code.
In order to do this move, the hwmon list head is now
using its own locking. Before, the list used
the global thermal locking. Also, some minor changes
in the code were required, as recommended by checkpatch.pl.
