On PowerNV platform, we might run into the situation where subsequent
events are duplicated events of former one, which is being processed.
For the case, we need the function implemented by the patch to purge
EEH events accordingly.

We possiblly have multiple kthreads running for multiple EEH errors
(events) and use one spinlock to make the process of handling those
EEH events serialized. That's unnecessary and the patch creates only
one kthread, which is started during EEH core initialization time in
eeh_init(). A new semaphore introduced to count the number of existing
EEH events in the queue and the kthread waiting on the semaphore.

The patch moves the common part of EEH core into arch/powerpc/kernel
directory so that we needn't PPC_PSERIES while compiling POWERNV
platform:
* Move the EEH common part into arch/powerpc/kernel
* Move the functions for PCI hotplug from pSeries platform to
arch/powerpc/kernel/pci-hotplug.c
* Move CONFIG_EEH from arch/powerpc/platforms/pseries/Kconfig to
arch/powerpc/platforms/Kconfig
* Adjust makefile accordingly
