Subject: [PATCH] psi: Optimize task switch inside shared cgroups

The commit 36b238d57172 ("psi: Optimize switching tasks inside shared
cgroups") only update cgroups whose state actually changes during a
task switch only in task preempt case, not in task sleep case.

We actually don't need to clear and set TSK_ONCPU state for common cgroups
of next and prev task in sleep case, that can save many psi_group_change
especially when most activity comes from one leaf cgroup.
