[PATCH] memcg: update document to mention swapoff should be test.

[KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki <kamezawa.hiroyu@jp.fujitsu.com>]

From: KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki <kamezawa.hiroyu@jp.fujitsu.com>

Considering recently found problem:
 memcg-fix-refcnt-handling-at-swapoff.patch

It's better to mention about swapoff behavior in memcg_test document.

 Because VM is getting complex (one of reasons is memcg...), memcg's behavior
 is complex. This is a document for memcg's internal behavior.
