[PATCH v7 5/6] cpufreq: powernv: Replace pr_info with trace print for throttle event

Currently we use printk message to notify the throttle event. But this
can flood the console if the cpu is throttled frequently. So replace the
printk with the tracepoint to notify the throttle event. And also events
like throttle below nominal frequency and OCC_RESET are reduced to
pr_warn/pr_warn_once as pointed by MFG to not mark them as critical
messages. This patch adds 'throttle_reason' to struct chip to store the
throttle reason.

Changes from v6:
- Rename struct chip member 'throt_reason' to 'throttle_reason'

No changes from v5.

Changes from v4:
- Taken care of Gautham's comments to remove the new function
  powernv_cpufreq_check_pmax()
- Modified commit message

Changes from v3:
- Separate this patch to contain trace_point changes
- Move struct chip member 'restore' of type bool above 'mask' to reduce
  structure padding.

No changes from v2.

Changes from v1:
- As suggested by Paul Clarke replaced char * throttle_reason[][30] by 
  const char * const throttle_reason[].
