Subject: [PATCH 1/3] sched/psi: Zero the memory of struct psi_group

After commit 5f69a6577bc3 ("psi: dont alloc memory for psi by default"),
the memory used by struct psi_group is no longer allocated and zeroed
in cgroup_create().

Since the memory of struct psi_group is not zeroed, the data in this
memory is random, which will lead to inaccurate psi statistics when
creating a new cgroup.

So we use kzlloc() to allocate and zero the struct psi_group and
remove the redundant zeroing in group_init().

Steps to reproduce:
1. Use cgroup v2 and enable CONFIG_PSI
2. Create a new cgroup, and query psi statistics
mkdir /sys/fs/cgroup/test
cat /sys/fs/cgroup/test/cpu.pressure
some avg10=0.00 avg60=0.00 avg300=47927752200.00 total=12884901
full avg10=561815124.00 avg60=125835394188.00 avg300=1077090462000.00 total=10273561772

cat /sys/fs/cgroup/test/io.pressure
some avg10=1040093132823.95 avg60=1203770351379.21 avg300=3862252669559.46 total=4294967296
full avg10=921884564601.39 avg60=0.00 avg300=1984507298.35 total=442381631

cat /sys/fs/cgroup/test/memory.pressure
some avg10=232476085778.11 avg60=0.00 avg300=0.00 total=0
full avg10=0.00 avg60=0.00 avg300=2585658472280.57 total=12884901

Fixes: commit 5f69a6577bc3 ("psi: dont alloc memory for psi by default")
