[PATCH] selftests/cgroup: test_zswap: use the total RAM in bytes

[Sasha Levin]

test_no_kmem_bypass() uses the totalram field of struct sysinfo as a
byte count, but it is in units of mem_unit, which can be larger than 1
on 32-bit architectures. There totalram also can't exceed GB(4), so the
size check never triggers:

  test_zswap.c:609:24: warning: result of comparison of constant 4294967296 with expression of type '__kernel_ulong_t' (aka 'unsigned long') is always false [-Wtautological-constant-out-of-range-compare]

Multiply totalram by mem_unit as an unsigned long long and use that for
the check and the values derived from it. Nothing changes on 64-bit,
where mem_unit is 1.

Found with 32-bit builds of the selftests (gcc 16 and clang 21 with
-m32, with and without -D_TIME_BITS=64 -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64);
KernelCI's 32-bit arm builds show the same warnings. The changed files
build without them now, and the x86_64 builds don't change.

Built test_zswap before and after on next-20261103 and ran both on a 4G
VM, identical results, no change on 64-bit as claimed.

One small thing: could you add a Fixes tag? The issue seems to date
back to a549f9f31561a ("selftests: cgroup: add test_zswap with no kmem
bypass test"), which introduced the sysinfo block, and 6f615890b848
later reshaped it into the current GB(4) comparison with the warning.

Yes, the original check against 5000000000 could never be true on
32-bit either, and it already used totalram as bytes:

Fixes: a549f9f31561 ("selftests: cgroup: add test_zswap with no kmem bypass test")
