When switching tasks running on a CPU, the psi state of a cgroup containing both of these tasks does not change. Right now, we don't exploit that, and can perform many unnecessary state changes in nested hierarchies, especially when most activity comes from one leaf cgroup. This patch implements an optimization where we only update cgroups whose state actually changes during a task switch. These are all cgroups that contain one task but not the other, up to the first shared ancestor. When both tasks are in the same group, we don't need to update anything at all. We can identify the first shared ancestor by walking the groups of the incoming task until we see TSK_ONCPU set on the local CPU; that's the first group that also contains the outgoing task. The new psi_task_switch() is similar to psi_task_change(). To allow code reuse, move the task flag maintenance code into a new function and the poll/avg worker wakeups into the shared psi_group_change().

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
