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.
