Commit 0e2759afcaf9 ("page_counter: track failcnt only for legacy
cgroups") made failcnt accounting conditional on track_failcnt.  It
enabled the flag for memcg->memory, but not for memcg->memsw.

Consequently, memory.memsw.failcnt remains zero when the memory+swap limit
is hit.  Enable failcnt accounting for the v1 memsw counter.

Reproducer:

    CG=/sys/fs/cgroup/memory/memsw-test
    LIMIT=33554432
    mkdir "$CG"
    echo "$LIMIT" > "$CG/memory.limit_in_bytes"
    echo "$LIMIT" > "$CG/memory.memsw.limit_in_bytes"

Start a child process in the cgroup and make it allocate and touch 96 MiB
of memory, causing a memcg OOM.

    cat "$CG/memory.memsw.failcnt"

Without the patch, memory.memsw.failcnt is 0.  With the patch,
memory.memsw.failcnt is greater than 0.
