platform/x86: thinkpad_acpi: Fix NULL pointer dereferences while probing

Some subdrivers make use of the global reference tpacpi_pdev during
initialization, which is called from the platform driver's probe.
However, after the commit 38b9ab80db31 ("platform/x86: thinkpad_acpi:
Move subdriver initialization to tpacpi_pdriver's probe.") this
variable is only properly initialized *after* probing and this can
result in a NULL pointer dereference.

In order to fix this without reverting the commit, register the platform
bundle in two steps, first create and initialize tpacpi_pdev, then
register the driver synchronously with platform_driver_probe(). This way
the benefits of commit 38b9ab80db31 are preserved.

Additionally, the commit 43fc63a1e8f6 ("platform/x86: thinkpad_acpi:
Move HWMON initialization to tpacpi_hwmon_pdriver's probe") introduced
a similar problem, however tpacpi_sensors_pdev is only used once inside
the probe, so replace the global reference with the one given by the
probe.
