Changes in v4:
- replaced the manual /proc/swaps check with .needs_kconfigs = "CONFIG_SWAP=y"
- added .needs_cmds = "mkswap" to make sure that the binary exists
- switched from raw tst_syscall to standard swapon() and swapoff()
- used TST_EXP_PASS() to check the swapon() call
- truncated the backing file before checking FALLOC_FL_PUNCH_HOLE support
- added SAFE_FSYNC() before mkswap to flush data to disk
- changed TTERRNO to TERRNO for swapoff() errors
- removed redundant static flag resets in cleanup()
- added .skip_filesystems to skip filesystems that do not support punch hole
- Link to v3: https://lore.kernel.org/20260828-swapon_discard_coverage-v3-0-136924a1a730@suse.com

Changes in v3:
- better description for fallbacks
- swapon02: make sure we swapoff() if swapon() accidentally pass
- Link to v2: https://lore.kernel.org/20260828-swapon_discard_coverage-v2-0-e55a86dad729@suse.com

Changes in v2:
- ensure buffer is flushed after discard using fsync()
- add messages to show what test cases we are running
