That looks over-engineered. You have to check iter whether cgroups are
enabled or not. Pulling the jump label check up doesn't save anything,
but it ends up duplicating code.

What you had in the beginning was better, it just had the system label
in an unexpected place where it would check iter twice in a row.

The (*iter == &psi_system) check inside the cgroups branch has the
same purpose as the (*iter) check in the else branch. We could
consolidate that by pulling it up front.

If we wrap the entire cgroup iteration block into the static branch,
IMO it becomes a bit clearer as well.

How about this?

static struct psi_group *iterate_groups(struct task_struct *task, void **iter)
{
	if (*iter == &psi_system)
		return NULL;

#ifdef CONFIG_CGROUPS
	if (!static_branch_likely(&psi_cgroups_disabled)) {
		struct cgroup *cgroup = NULL;

		if (!*iter)
			cgroup = task->cgroups->dfl_cgrp;
		else
			cgroup = cgroup_parent(*iter);

		if (cgroup && cgroup_parent(cgroup)) {
			*iter = cgroup;
			return cgroup_psi(cgroup);
		}
	}
#endif

	*iter = &psi_system;
	return &psi_system;
}
