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.
Fixes: 0e2759afcaf9 ("page_counter: track failcnt only for legacy cgroups")
