tier/dht: Fixing non atomic promotion/demotion w.r.t to frequency period

This fixes the ping-pong issue i.e files getting demoted immediately
after promition, caused by off-sync promotion/demotion processes.
The solution is do promotion/demotion refering to the system time.
To have the fix working all the file serving nodes should have
thier system time synchronized with each other either manually or
using a NTP Server.

NOTE: The ping-pong issue can re-appear even with this fix, if the admin
have different promotion freq period and demotion freq period, but this
would be under the control of the admin.
