Although IRQ/SOFTIRQ is per-cpu, it's the rq->curr who own the CPU at the time
and pay for it, meanwhile other groups would be thought as PSI_CPU_FULL.

So I think it's reasonable to account this IRQ/SOFTIRQ delta to rq->curr's groups
as PSI_IRQ_FULL pressure stall. And per-cpu IRQ stall can also get from psi_system.

Thanks.
