thermal: core: Move initial num_trips assignment before memcpy()

Browse Source 
When booting a CONFIG_FORTIFY_SOURCE=y kernel compiled with a toolchain
that supports __counted_by() (such as clang-18 and newer), there is a
panic on boot:

  [    2.913770] memcpy: detected buffer overflow: 72 byte write of buffer size 0
  [    2.920834] WARNING: CPU: 2 PID: 1 at lib/string_helpers.c:1027 __fortify_report+0x5c/0x74
  ...
  [    3.039208] Call trace:
  [    3.041643]  __fortify_report+0x5c/0x74
  [    3.045469]  __fortify_panic+0x18/0x20
  [    3.049209]  thermal_zone_device_register_with_trips+0x4c8/0x4f8

This panic occurs because trips is counted by num_trips but num_trips is
assigned after the call to memcpy(), so the fortify checks think the
buffer size is zero because tz was allocated with kzalloc().

Move the num_trips assignment before the memcpy() to resolve the panic
and ensure that the fortify checks work properly.
