[ Upstream commit 3dfbe25c27 ]

Jingfeng reports rare div0 crashes in psi on systems with some uptime:

The crashing instruction is trying to divide the observed stall time
by the sampling period. The period, stored in R8, is not 0, but we are
dividing by the lower 32 bits only, which are all 0 in this instance.

We could switch to a 64-bit division, but the period shouldn't be that
big in the first place. It's the time between the last update and the
next scheduled one, and so should always be around 2s and comfortably
fit into 32 bits.

The bug is in the initialization of new cgroups: we schedule the first
sampling event in a cgroup as an offset of sched_clock(), but fail to
initialize the last_update timestamp, and it defaults to 0. That
results in a bogusly large sampling period the first time we run the
sampling code, and consequently we underreport pressure for the first
2s of a cgroup's life. But worse, if sched_clock() is sufficiently
advanced on the system, and the user gets unlucky, the period's lower
32 bits can all be 0 and the sampling division will crash.

Fix this by initializing the last update timestamp to the creation
time of the cgroup, thus correctly marking the start of the first
pressure sampling period in a new cgroup.
