[LTP] [PATCH V4 3/6] swapon01: Improving test with memory limits and swap reporting

This is target to create a more robust and controlled environment to test
the swapon system call. By introducing memory limits through cgroups and
filling memory with a known pattern, the test can better assess swapon
behavior when the system experiences memory pressure.
Additionally, the reporting of "SwapCached" memory before turning off the
swap file provides a clearer understanding of the swap system's state in
response to the test conditions.
