[RFC 1/3] powerpc/eeh: Refactor eeh_pe_update_time_stamp to update freeze_count

This patch introduces a new function named
eeh_pe_update_freeze_counter replacing existing function
eeh_pe_update_time_stamp. The new function also manages the value of
freeze_count along with tstamp to track the number of times the PE
froze in last one hour and if the freeze_count > eeh_max_freezes then
reports an error(-ENOTRECOVERABLE) to indicate that the PE should be
permanently disabled.

This patch should not introduce any behavioral change.
