selftests/cgroup: add test for zswap incompressible pages

Add test_zswap_incompressible() to verify that the zswap_incomp memcg stat
correctly tracks incompressible pages.

The test allocates memory filled with random data from /dev/urandom, which
cannot be effectively compressed by zswap.  When this data is swapped out
to zswap, it should be stored as-is and tracked by the zswap_incomp
counter.

The test verifies that:
1. Pages are swapped out to zswap (zswpout increases)
2. Incompressible pages are tracked (zswap_incomp increases)

test:
dd if=/dev/zero of=/swapfile bs=1M count=2048
chmod 600 /swapfile
mkswap /swapfile
swapon /swapfile
echo Y > /sys/module/zswap/parameters/enabled
