psi: Fix cpu.pressure for cpu.max and competing cgroups
For simplicity, cpu pressure is defined as having more than one runnable task on a given CPU. This works on the system-level, but it has limitations in a cgrouped reality: When cpu.max is in use, it doesn't capture the time in which a task is not executing on the CPU due to throttling. Likewise, it doesn't capture the time in which a competing cgroup is occupying the CPU - meaning it only reflects cgroup-internal competitive pressure, not outside pressure. Enable tracking of currently executing tasks, and then change the definition of cpu pressure in a cgroup from NR_RUNNING > 1 to NR_RUNNING > ON_CPU which will capture the effects of cpu.max as well as competition from outside the cgroup. After this patch, a cgroup running `stress -c 1` with a cpu.max setting of 5000 10000 shows ~50% continuous CPU pressure.
