[PATCH 15/21] thermal: cooling: avoid uninitialied used gcc warning

The newly rewritten get_property() function causes a bogus warning
from gcc-3.8, which cannot figure out that "level" is always
initialized at the point where it gets evaluated:

drivers/thermal/cpu_cooling.c: In function 'get_property':
drivers/thermal/cpu_cooling.c:189:37: warning: 'level' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wmaybe-uninitialized]
   if (property == GET_FREQ && level == j) {
                                     ^

Slightly rearranging the code makes this more obvious and
avoids the warning.
