PEL: Fix for error - unable to read PEL ID file

This is a case when PEL daemon can't read pelID file to get the next
pel Id to use. It could be that the file got corrupted during code
update or factory reset leading to zeros data in file. The fix is to
delete the file as there is already code later to recreate file if
not available.
