Subject: [PATCH 3/4] sched/psi: extract update_triggers side effect

The update of rtpoll_total inside update_triggers can be moved out of
the function since changed_states has the same information as the
update_total flag used in the function. Besides the simplification of
the function, with the next patch it would become an unwanted side
effect needed only for PSI_POLL.
