hwmon: (ntc_thermistor) return error instead of clipping on OOB

When the ntc is reading Out Of Bounds instead of clipping to the nearest
limit (min/max) return -ENODATA. This prevents malfunctioning sensors
from sending a device into a shutdown loop due to a critical trip.

This implementation will only work for ntc type thermistors if a ptc
type is to be implemented the min/max ohm calculation must be adjusted
to take that into account.
