[LTP] [PATCH RFC 2/2] swapping01: check memory swap usage per process

Since previously swapping01 read the system FreeSwap for counting
usage of swap-size, that's not precise on system especially with
eating-memory daemon in the background. Now, we try to check the
'VmmSwap' in proc/PID/status per process, to get rid of the potential
influence from other processes which easily leads to false positive.
