selftests/cgroup: avoid OOM in test_swapin_nozswap

Browse Source 
test_swapin_nozswap can hit OOM before reaching its assertions on some
setups.  The test currently sets memory.max=8M and then allocates/reads
32M with memory.zswap.max=0, which may over-constrain reclaim and kill the
workload process.

Replace hardcoded sizes with PAGE_SIZE-based values:
  - control_allocation_size = PAGE_SIZE * 512
  - memory.max = control_allocation_size * 3 / 4
  - minimum expected swap = control_allocation_size / 4

This keeps the test pressure model intact (allocate/read beyond memory.max
to force swap-in/out) while making it more robust across different
environments.

The test intent is unchanged: confirm that swapping occurs while zswap remains
unused when memory.zswap.max=0.
