sched/psi: Fix sampling error and rare div0 crashes with cgroups and high uptime

The period, stored in R8, is not 0, but we are dividing by the lower 32 bits only, which are all 0 in this instance. We could switch to a 64-bit division, but the period shouldn't be that big in the first place. It's the time between the last update and the next scheduled one, and so should always be around 2s and comfortably fit into 32 bits. The bug is in the initialization of new cgroups: we schedule the first sampling event in a cgroup as an offset of sched_clock(), but fail to initialize the last_update timestamp, and it defaults to 0. That results in a bogusly large sampling period the first time we run the sampling code, and consequently we underreport pressure for the first 2s of a cgroup's life. But worse, if sched_clock() is sufficiently advanced on the system, and the user gets unlucky, the period's lower 32 bits can all be 0 and the sampling division will crash. Fix this by initializing the last update timestamp to the creation time of the cgroup, thus correctly marking the start of the first pressure sampling period in a new cgroup.
