Currently pointer tz is dereferenced before it is being null checked
leading to a potential null pointer deferernce issue. Fix this by
only defererencing it once it has been null checked.

Actually the callback should assume tz is never NULL because the caller does:

	ret = tz->ops.set_trip_temp(tz, trip, temp);

So removing the NULL pointer check is safe here.
