mm: zswap: add per-memcg stat for incompressible pages

Patch series "mm: zswap: add per-memcg stat for incompressible pages", v3.

In containerized environments, knowing which cgroup is contributing
incompressible pages to zswap is essential for effective resource
management.  This series adds a new per-memcg stat 'zswap_incomp' to track
incompressible pages, along with a selftest.


This patch (of 2):

The global zswap_stored_incompressible_pages counter was added in commit
dca4437a5861 ("mm/zswap: store <PAGE_SIZE compression failed page as-is")
to track how many pages are stored in raw (uncompressed) form in zswap. 
However, in containerized environments, knowing which cgroup is
contributing incompressible pages is essential for effective resource
management [1].

Add a new memcg stat 'zswap_incomp' to track incompressible pages per
cgroup.  This helps administrators and orchestrators to:

1. Identify workloads that produce incompressible data (e.g., encrypted
   data, already-compressed media, random data) and may not benefit from
   zswap.

2. Make informed decisions about workload placement - moving
   incompressible workloads to nodes with larger swap backing devices
   rather than relying on zswap.

3. Debug zswap efficiency issues at the cgroup level without needing to
   correlate global stats with individual cgroups.

While the compression ratio can be estimated from existing stats (zswap /
zswapped * PAGE_SIZE), this doesn't distinguish between "uniformly poor
compression" and "a few completely incompressible pages mixed with highly
compressible ones".  The zswap_incomp stat provides direct visibility into
the latter case.
