There are 43 instances of posix shell tests and 35 instances of bash. To
give us a single consistent language for testing in, replace
all #!/bin/sh to #!/bin/bash. Common sources that are included in both
different shells will now work as expected. And we no longer have to fix
up bashisms that appear to work when someone's system has sh symlinked
to bash, but don't work on other systems that have both shells
installed.
Although we could have chosen sh, it's not backwards compatible so it
wouldn't be possible to bulk convert without re-writing the existing
bash tests.
Choosing bash also gives us some nicer features including 'local'
variable definitions and regexes in if statements that are already
widely used in the tests.
It's not expected that there are any users with only sh available due to
the large number of bash tests that exist.

And it is being successfull only when running alone, probably because
there are some tests that add the vfs_getname probe that gets used by
'perf trace' and alter how it does syscall arg pathname resolution.
This should be removed or made a fallback to the preferred BPF mode of
getting syscall parameters, but till then, run this in exclusive mode.
For reference, here are some of the tests that run close to this one:
127: perf record offcpu profiling tests : Ok
128: perf all PMU test : Ok
129: perf stat --bpf-counters test : Ok
130: Check Arm CoreSight trace data recording and synthesized samples: Skip
131: Check Arm CoreSight disassembly script completes without errors : Skip
132: Check Arm SPE trace data recording and synthesized samples : Skip
133: Test data symbol : Ok
134: Miscellaneous Intel PT testing : Skip
135: test Intel TPEBS counting mode : Skip
136: perf script task-analyzer tests : Ok
137: Check open filename arg using perf trace + vfs_getname : Ok
138: perf trace summary : Ok
