[LTP] [PATCH v3] memcg/functional: fix memcg_failcnt intermittent timeout by disabling swap

memcg_failcnt.sh tests the memory.failcnt counter by allocating
reclaimable memory (mmap-anon/mmap-file/shm) beyond a tiny cgroup
limit (1 page). It relies on the process being OOM-killed so that
signal_memcg_process()'s wait loop exits.

With swap enabled the kernel usually still OOM-kills the process,
but on arm64 reclaim (swap out) sometimes succeeds instead:
usage_in_bytes stays at the limit and the process keeps running,
so the wait loop times out (TBROK) intermittently.

Example failure on arm64 (kernel 6.6):
  memcg_failcnt 2 TBROK: timed out on memory.usage_in_bytes 4096 0 8192

Disable swap around the allocation and re-enable it afterwards,
mirroring what memcg_limit_in_bytes.sh already does for the same
reclaimable memory types.

Changes in v2:
- Drop "2>/dev/null" from swapoff/swapon so that a failure to disable
  swap (or a missing swapoff binary) stays visible, instead of silently
  letting the intermittent timeout recur. Per the LTP AI review, the
  redirect hid the very error this fix relies on, and
  memcg_limit_in_bytes.sh does not redirect stderr either.

Changes in v3:
- Move swapoff to do_setup() and swapon to do_cleanup() per Li Wang,
  instead of wrapping each test iteration with swapoff/swapon in do_test().
