Subject: [PATCH v2 4/4] psi: Optimize task switch inside shared cgroups

The commit 36b238d57172 ("psi: Optimize switching tasks inside shared
cgroups") only update cgroups whose state actually changes during a
task switch only in task preempt case, not in task sleep case.

We actually don't need to clear and set TSK_ONCPU state for common cgroups
of next and prev task in sleep case, that can save many psi_group_change
especially when most activity comes from one leaf cgroup.

sleep before:
psi_dequeue()
  while ((group = iterate_groups(prev)))  # all ancestors
    psi_group_change(prev, .clear=TSK_RUNNING|TSK_ONCPU)
psi_task_switch()
  while ((group = iterate_groups(next)))  # all ancestors
    psi_group_change(next, .set=TSK_ONCPU)

sleep after:
psi_dequeue()
  nop
psi_task_switch()
  while ((group = iterate_groups(next)))  # until (prev & next)
    psi_group_change(next, .set=TSK_ONCPU)
  while ((group = iterate_groups(prev)))  # all ancestors
    psi_group_change(prev, .clear=common?TSK_RUNNING:TSK_RUNNING|TSK_ONCPU)

When a voluntary sleep switches to another task, we remove one call of
psi_group_change() for every common cgroup ancestor of the two tasks.
