Subject: [PATCH] psi: reduce min window size to 50ms

Few systems would require much finer-grained tracking of memory
pressure in the system using PSI mechanism. Reduce the minimum
allowable window size to be 50ms to increase the sampling rate
of PSI monitor for much faster response and reaction to memory
pressures in the system. With 50ms window size, the smallest
resolution of memory pressure that can be tracked is now 5ms.
