[LTP] [PATCH 3/3] swapon: create 128MB swapfile

The modification in the setup function changes the swap file
creation approach. Instead of allocating swap space based on
a number of blocks (which potentially could be too small for
the polluted memory, thus causing an OOM), it now uses a fixed
size of 128 units for the swap file creation.

This is likely a conservative figure to prevent the OOM killer
from being triggered due to excessive memory allocation for the
swap file, helping ensure the test runs successfully on systems
with zero swap space.
