psi: fix possible trigger missing in the window

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.
