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 use PSI_STATE_RESCHEDULE to flag whether to
re-arm avgs_work in get_recent_times(). For the current CPU, we re-arm
avgs_work only when (NR_RUNNING > 1 || NR_IOWAIT > 0 || NR_MEMSTALL > 0),
for other CPUs we can just check PSI_NONIDLE delta. The new flag
is only used in psi_avgs_work(), so we check in get_recent_times()
that current_work() is avgs_work.

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.
