[PATCH v3 3/4] selftests: cgroup: fix alloc_anon_noexit() instantly freeing memory

[Yosry Ahmed <yosryahmed@google.com>]

Currently, alloc_anon_noexit() calls alloc_anon() which instantly frees
the allocated memory. alloc_anon_noexit() is usually used with
cg_run_nowait() to run a process in the background that allocates
memory. It makes sense for the background process to keep the memory
allocated and not instantly free it (otherwise there is no point of
running it in the background).
