thermal: rcar-thermal: update thermal zone only when temperature changes
Avoid updating the thermal zone in case an IRQ was triggered but the
temperature didn't effectively change.
Note this is not a driver issue.
Below is a captured debug trace illustrating the purpose of this patch:
out of 8 thermal zone updates, only 2 are actually necessary.

I suspect this may be due to sensor sampling accuracy / fluctuation,
but no formal proof.
