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.
