sched/psi: Fix avgs_work re-arm in psi_avgs_work()

Pavan reported a problem that PSI avgs_work idle shutoff is not
working at all. Because PSI_NONIDLE condition would be observed in
psi_avgs_work()->collect_percpu_times()->get_recent_times() even if
only the kworker running avgs_work on the CPU.

Although commit 1b69ac6b40eb ("psi: fix aggregation idle shut-off")
avoided the ping-pong wake problem when the worker sleep, psi_avgs_work()
still will always re-arm the avgs_work, so shutoff is not working.

This patch changes to consider current CPU groupc as IDLE if the
kworker running avgs_work is the only task running and no IOWAIT
or MEMSTALL sleep tasks, in which case we will shut off the avgs_work
if other CPUs' groupc are also IDLE.

One potential problem is that the brief period of non-idle time
incurred between the aggregation run and the kworker's dequeue will
be stranded in the per-cpu buckets until avgs_work run next time.
The buckets can hold 4s worth of time, and future activity will wake
the avgs_work with a 2s delay, giving us 2s worth of data we can leave
behind when shut off the avgs_work. If the kworker run other works after
avgs_work shut off and doesn't have any scheduler activities for 2s,
this maybe a problem.

Hello,

Thanks for picking this up. There is a newer version which has been acked:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20221014110551.22695-1-zhouchengming@bytedance.com/

As well another PSI patch that has been acked by Johannes:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20220926081931.45420-1-zhouchengming@bytedance.com/

Thanks!

Hmm. Indeed this seems to be an older version and not the one I asked
Peter to pick up in
https://lore.kernel.org/all/CAJuCfpHeJuZBbv-q+WXjgNHwt_caMomFPL3L9rxosXOrZz3fBw@mail.gmail.com/.
Not sure what went wrong. Peter, could you please replace this one
with https://lore.kernel.org/all/20221014110551.22695-1-zhouchengming@bytedance.com/?

Chengming, please do not top-post next time. Would be better if you
posted your note under the "Link:" field in this email.
Thanks!

Probably me being an idiot and searching on subject instead of msgid :/

I'll go fix up -- tomorrow though, it's late and I'm likely to mess it

Can you please check queue.git/sched/core ; did I get it right this

I just checked that three patches, LGTM.

And would you mind picking up this, by the way?
