CC'ing PeterZ since I think this change will need to be accepted into
his tree. Please include Peter in the future versions of this patch.

At least for me, it's hard to understand the problem from this
description. Suggest something like this:

When a new threshold breaching stall happens after a psi event was
generated and within the window duration, the new event is not
generated because the events are rate-limited to one per window. If
after that no new stall is recorded then the event will not be
generated even after rate-limiting duration has passed. This is
happening because with no new stall, window_update will not be called
even though threshold was previously breached. To fix this, record
threshold breaching occurrence and generate the event once window
duration is passed.

The code looks good to me. Thanks!
