Subject: [PATCH linux-next v3 2/4] sched/psi: Avoid update triggers and rtpoll_total when it is unnecessary

From: Yang Yang <yang.yang29@....com.cn>

When psimon wakes up and there are no state changes for rtpoll_states,
it's unnecessary to update triggers and rtpoll_total because the pressures
being monitored by user had not changed.
This will help to slightly reduce unnecessary computations of psi.
