Because do_swap_account is initialized too late.
CGROUP_SUBSYS_CFTYPES() are processed via fs_initcall().  AFAICS,
do_swap_account may not have been initialized by then.  Also, if memcg
as whole is disabled, it doesn't matter whether those files are
registered or not, right?  We probably need some comment there tho.

Thanks.
