The step_wise and the power allocator are changing the tz->passive
values, so telling the core to start and stop the passive mitigation timer.

It looks strange that a plugin controls the core internal and not the
opposite.

I'm wondering if it would not make sense to have the following ops:

.start
.stop

start is called when the first trip point is crossed the way up
stop is called when the first trip point is crossed the way down

- The core is responsible to start and stop the passive mitigation timer.

- the governors do no longer us tz->passive

The reset of the governor can happen at start or stop, as well as the
device cooling states.
