Chengming Zhou 7d9da04057 psi: Fix race when task wakes up before psi_sched_switch() adjusts flags
When running hackbench in a cgroup with bandwidth throttling enabled,
following PSI splat was observed:

    psi: inconsistent task state! task=1831:hackbench cpu=8 psi_flags=14 clear=0 set=4

When investigating the series of events leading up to the splat,
following sequence was observed:

    [008] d..2.: sched_switch: ... ==> next_comm=hackbench next_pid=1831 next_prio=120
        ...
    [008] dN.2.: dequeue_entity(task delayed): task=hackbench pid=1831 cfs_rq->throttled=0
    [008] dN.2.: pick_task_fair: check_cfs_rq_runtime() throttled cfs_rq on CPU8
    # CPU8 goes into newidle balance and releases the rq lock
        ...
    # CPU15 on same LLC Domain is trying to wakeup hackbench(pid=1831)
    [015] d..4.: psi_flags_change: psi: task state: task=1831:hackbench cpu=8 psi_flags=14 clear=0 set=4 final=14 # Splat (cfs_rq->throttled=1)
    [015] d..4.: sched_wakeup: comm=hackbench pid=1831 prio=120 target_cpu=008 # Task has woken on a throttled hierarchy
    [008] d..2.: sched_switch: prev_comm=hackbench prev_pid=1831 prev_prio=120 prev_state=S ==> ...

psi_dequeue() relies on psi_sched_switch() to set the correct PSI flags
for the blocked entity, however, with the introduction of DELAY_DEQUEUE,
the block task can wakeup when newidle balance drops the runqueue lock
during __schedule().

If a task wakes before psi_sched_switch() adjusts the PSI flags, skip
any modifications in psi_enqueue() which would still see the flags of a
running task and not a blocked one. Instead, rely on psi_sched_switch()
to do the right thing.

Since the status returned by try_to_block_task() may no longer be true
by the time schedule reaches psi_sched_switch(), check if the task is
blocked or not using a combination of task_on_rq_queued() and
p->se.sched_delayed checks.
