We recently encountered a bug that makes all zswap store attempt fail.
Specifically, after:

"141fdeececb3 mm/zswap: delay the initialization of zswap"

if we build a kernel with zswap disabled by default, then enabled after
the swapfile is set up, the zswap tree will not be initialized.  As a
result, all zswap store calls will be short-circuited.  We have to perform
another swapon to get zswap working properly again.

Fortunately, this issue has since been fixed by the patch that kills
frontswap:

"42c06a0e8ebe mm: kill frontswap"

which performs zswap_swapon() unconditionally, i.e always initializing
the zswap tree.

This test add a sanity check that ensure zswap storing works as
intended.
