@mlok-nokia seems it is reverted but looks like we need this. Can you create PR ? wondering do you not see issue even though it is reverted ?

Why I did it
When the previous-reboot-cause has a broken symlink, the following back trace is shown in the syslog and system-running state show degraded. And rebooting the system will not be able to generated a new symlink of the new previous-reboot-cause.
fixes #10746
How I did it
Somehow, when the symlink file /host/reboot-cause/previous-reboot-cause is broken (which its destination files doesn't exist in this case), the current condition check "if os.path,exists(PREVIOUS_REBOOT_CAUSE_FILE)" will return False in determine-reboot-cause script. Hence, the current previous-reboot-cause is not been removed and the recreation of the new previous-reboot-cause failed. In case of previous-reboot-cause is a broken synlink file, add condition os.path.islink(PREVIOUS_REBOOT_CAUSE) to check and allow the remove operation happens.
