[PATCH v2] psi: Remove the redundant psi_task_tick

From: Chengming Zhou
Date: Tue Feb 09 2021 - 02:12:12 EST


When the current task in a cgroup is in_memstall, the corresponding groupc
on that cpu is in PSI_MEM_FULL state, so we can exploit that to remove the
redundant psi_task_tick from scheduler_tick to save this periodic cost.
