[LTP] [PATCH] libswap: add Btrfs noCOW attribute setting for swap files

[Li Wang <liwang@redhat.com>]

The patch aims to ensure swap files on Btrfs filesystems are created
with the appropriate FS_NOCOW_FL attribute, which is necessary to
disable CoW (Copy-on-Write) for swap files, perthe btrfs(5) manual page.
This change is gated behind a kernel version check to ensure compatibility
with the system's capabilities.

Notes:
    Hi Petr,
    
      I haven't gotten a chance to test this patch on any Btrfs platform,
      but only compile successfully without error on my RHEL8/9(xfs).
      Can you help test and guarantee it works for you?
