[PATCH] powerpc/pseries: Increment fail counter in PCI recovery 

When a PCI device driver does not support PCI error recovery,
the powerpc/pseries code takes a walk through a branch of code
that resets the failure counter. Because of this, if a broken
PCI card is present, the kernel will attempt to reset it an
infinite number of times. (This is annoying but mostly harmless:
each reset takes about 10-20 seconds, and uses almost no CPU time).

This patch preserves the failure count across resets.
