Too concise :) Perhaps a little bit of description of what you are
doing would be helpful.

Why is this needed? Isn't this the default value?

I'd rather have all the hierarchy setup at the beginning of the test,
before the actual test logic. I don't feel strongly about it though.

Is the idea here that we always hardcode the child's zswap.writeback
to 1, and the parent's zswap.writeback changes from 0 to 1, and we
check that the parent's value is what matters?
I think we need a comment here.

TBH, I expected a separate test that checks different combinations of
parent and child values (e.g. also verifies that if the parent is
enabled but child is disabled, writeback is disabled).
