We've been seeing hard-to-trigger psi crashes when running inside VM

The Code-line points to `period` being 0 inside update_stats(), and we
divide by that when calculating that period's pressure percentage.
The elapsed period should never be 0. The reason this can happen is due
to an off-by-one in the idle time / missing period calculation combined
with a coarse sched_clock() in the virtual machine.
The target time for aggregation is advanced into the future on a fixed
grid to prevent clock drift. So when an aggregation runs after some idle
period, we can not just set it to "now + psi_period", but have to
calculate the downtime and advance the target time relative to itself.
However, if the aggregator was disabled exactly one psi_period (ns), we
drop one idle period in the calculation due to a > when we should do >=.
In that case, next_update will be advanced from 'now - psi_period' to
'now' when it should be moved to 'now + psi_period'. The run finishes
with last_update == next_update == sched_clock().
With hardware clocks, this exact nanosecond match isn't likely in the
first place; but if it does happen, the clock will still have moved on and
the period non-zero by the time the worker runs. A pointlessly short
period, but besides the extra work, no harm no foul. However, a slow
sched_clock() like we have on VMs might not have advanced either by the
time the worker runs again. And when we calculate the elapsed period, the
result, our pressure divisor, will be 0. Ouch.
Fix this by correctly handling the situation when the elapsed time between
aggregation runs is precisely two periods, and advance the expiration
timestamp correctly to period into the future.
