From: Tao Cui <cuitao@kylinos.cn>
The cgroup selftests have no PSI coverage. Add test_psi.c: per-resource
trigger smoke tests (one trigger per fd, IRQ full-only), a
cgroup.pressure hide/show toggle test, and a CPU-pressure trigger test
using over-subscription. Skips when PSI is disabled or a resource is
absent.

Changes since v2 (Suren Baghdasaryan, Michal Koutny review):
- Restructure the trigger test into per-resource cases (io, memory, cpu,
irq) so a failure points at the specific resource; irq is skipped when
/proc/pressure/irq is absent.
- Spawn the CPU hogs with cg_run_nowait() instead of open-coding fork(),
and arm the trigger with a 2s window so unprivileged users can set it.
- Address the remaining review comments on cleanup and robustness:
guard teardown with a "created" flag, use cg_read_strcmp() instead of
atoi(), report strerror() on errors, and fix the unused-parameter and
sign-compare nits.
Changes since v1 (Michal Koutny, sashiko review):
- Keep trigger tests smoke-level; switch the firing test from memory to
CPU pressure; drop churn_memory().
- Keep the runner out of the cgroup; add PSI/IRQ skip-guards and a
.gitignore entry.
