kernel: enable pressure interface

PSI provides a canonical way to see resource pressure increases as
they develop, with pressure metrics for three major resources:
memory, CPU, and IO. PSI stats are like barometers that provide
fair warning of impending resource shortages, enabling users to
take more proactive, granular, and nuanced steps when resources
start becoming scarce.

help
Collect metrics that indicate how overcommitted the CPU, memory,
and IO capacity are in the system.
If you say Y here, the kernel will create /proc/pressure/ with the
pressure statistics files cpu, memory, and io. These will indicate
the share of walltime in which some or all tasks in the system are
delayed due to contention of the respective resource.
In kernels with cgroup support, cgroups (cgroup2 only) will
have cpu.pressure, memory.pressure, and io.pressure files,
which aggregate pressure stalls for the grouped tasks only.
For more details see Documentation/accounting/psi.rst.
Say N if unsure.
