Subject: [PATCH v4] selftests: cgroup: add tests to verify the zswap writeback path

Attempt writeback with the below steps and check using
memory.stat.zswpwb if zswap writeback occurred:
1. Allocate memory.
2. Reclaim memory equal to the amount that was allocated in step 1.
   This will move it into zswap.
3. Save current zswap usage.
4. Move the memory allocated in step 1 back in from zswap.
5. Set zswap.max to half the amount that was recorded in step 3.
6. Attempt to reclaim memory equal to the amount that was allocated,
   this will either trigger writeback if it's enabled, or reclamation
   will fail if writeback is disabled as there isn't enough zswap
   space.

v3 -> v4 (Yosry Ahmed):
- Use a fixed page-sized buffer for filling and checking memory when
  attempting writeback
- Use cg_write_numeric instead of cg_write for memory.reclaim
- Improved error checking for zswpwb_before and zswpwb_after

v2 -> v3:
- Remove memory.max (Yosry Ahmed)
- change from random allocation of memory to increasing and 0 allocation
  (Yosry Ahmed)
- stricter error checking when writeback is disabled (Yosry Ahmed)
- Ensure zswpwb_before == 0 (Yosry Ahmed)
- Variable definition reorder, function name change (Yosry Ahmed)

v1 -> v2:
- Change method of causing writeback from limit zswap to memory reclaim.
  (Further described in commit message) (Yosry Ahmed)
- Document why using random memory (Nhat Pham)
