Move the reclaim detection from the timer tick to the task state tracking machinery using the recently added ONCPU state. And we also add task psi_flags changes checking in the psi_task_switch() optimization to update the parents properly. In terms of performance and cost, this ONCPU task state tracking is not cheaper than previous timer tick in aggregate. But the code is simpler and shorter this way, so it's a maintainability win. And Johannes did some testing with perf bench, the performace and cost changes would be acceptable for real workloads. Thanks to Johannes Weiner for pointing out the psi_task_switch() optimization things and the clearer changelog.

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
