[LTP] [PATCH v2] swapping01: make use of remaining runtime in test looping

[Li Wang]

Here go with default to 10 minutes for max_runtime. At the same time limit
the loop that waits for the swap usage to settle to run for a reminder
of max_runtime/2 instead of the hardcoded 30 seconds.

This fix can significantly improve timeouts on slower systems:

  # free -h
                total        used        free      shared  buff/cache   available
  Mem:          2.9Gi       1.1Gi       1.1Gi        20Mi       732Mi       1.5Gi
  Swap:         2.0Gi          0B       2.0Gi

  # time ./swapping01
