selftests/cgroup: test_zswap: wait for asynchronous writeback

zswap writeback is asynchronous, but test_zswap.c checks writeback
counters immediately after reclaim/trigger paths.  On some platforms (e.g.
ppc64le), this can race with background writeback and cause spurious
failures even when behavior is correct.

Add wait_for_writeback() to poll get_cg_wb_count() with a bounded
timeout, and use it in:

  test_zswap_writeback_one() when writeback is expected
  test_no_invasive_cgroup_shrink() for the wb_group check

This keeps the original before/after assertion style while making the
tests robust against writeback completion latency.

No test behavior change, selftest stability improvement only.
