  Report cpu frequency throttling

Bug description:
  [Impact]

  The user can see a drop in performance when frequency is throttled and
  is unaware of throttling. So detect and report such a condition, so
  the user can check the OCC status to reboot the system or check for
  power supply or fan failures.

  The cpu frequency can be throttled by OCC for the following reasons:
  1)If a processor crosses its power and temperature limit then OCC will
  lower its Pmax to reduce the frequency and voltage.
  2)If OCC crashes then the system is forced to Psafe frequency.
  3)If OCC fails to recover then the kernel is not allowed to do any
   further frequency changes and the chip will remain in Psafe.

  
  [Test Case]
  Get into a state where hardware OCC throttles CPU frequency.
  Ensure kernel log shows cpufreq throttling messages.
