[Skiboot] [PATCH] phb4: Reassign link_retries counter in IODA purge

Recently, a link_retries counter was added in pci/phb4 in order
Skiboot can retry to train a link some times - default number of
attempts to retrain a link is 3.

Happens that, if during a regular boot process we exhaust the
link retries and fail to train a PHB, the variable link_retries
is stuck in 0. If a kdump happens later, a PHB reset procedure is
triggered by Linux and, since we have a decrement-and-test in this
variable, we end up setting it to -1; it's unsigned, hence we get
an overflow.

This patch fixes the issue by reassigning the default value to
link_retries in every IODA purge.
