sched/psi: Allow unprivileged polling of N*2s period

[ Upstream commit d82caa273565b45fcf103148950549af76c314b0 ]

PSI offers 2 mechanisms to get information about a specific resource
pressure. One is reading from /proc/pressure/<resource>, which gives
average pressures aggregated every 2s. The other is creating a pollable
fd for a specific resource and cgroup.

The trigger creation requires CAP_SYS_RESOURCE, and gives the
possibility to pick specific time window and threshold, spawing an RT
thread to aggregate the data.

Systemd would like to provide containers the option to monitor pressure
on their own cgroup and sub-cgroups. For example, if systemd launches a
container that itself then launches services, the container should have
the ability to poll() for pressure in individual services. But neither
the container nor the services are privileged.

This patch implements a mechanism to allow unprivileged users to create
pressure triggers. The difference with privileged triggers creation is
that unprivileged ones must have a time window that's a multiple of 2s.
This is so that we can avoid unrestricted spawning of rt threads, and
use instead the same aggregation mechanism done for the averages, which
runs independently of any triggers.
