psi: make disabling/enabling easier for vendor kernels

Browse Source 
Mel Gorman reports a hackbench regression with psi that would prohibit
shipping the suse kernel with it default-enabled, but he'd still like
users to be able to opt in at little to no cost to others.

With the current combination of CONFIG_PSI and the psi_disabled bool set
from the commandline, this is a challenge.  Do the following things to
make it easier:

1. Add a config option CONFIG_PSI_DEFAULT_DISABLED that allows distros
   to enable CONFIG_PSI in their kernel but leave the feature disabled
   unless a user requests it at boot-time.

   To avoid double negatives, rename psi_disabled= to psi=.

2. Make psi_disabled a static branch to eliminate any branch costs
   when the feature is disabled.

In terms of numbers before and after this patch, Mel says:

: The following is a comparision using CONFIG_PSI=n as a baseline against
: your patch and a vanilla kernel
