Ah, sorry. I forgot that CONFIG_CGROUPS=n would force
cgroup_psi_enabled()==false (the way function is defined in cgroup.h),
so (CONFIG_CGROUPS=n && cgroup_psi_enabled()==true) is an invalid
configuration. I think adding a comment to your suggestion would make
it more clear.
So your suggestion seems to work. I'll test it and include it in the
next revision. Thanks!
