Committer testing:

  Ian reported that shellcheck found some issues, I installed it as there
  are no warnings about it not being available, but when available it
  fails the build with:

    TEST    /tmp/build/perf-tools-next/tests/shell/script.sh.shellcheck_log
    CC      /tmp/build/perf-tools-next/util/header.o

Did these fixes:

  +               rm -rf "${temp_dir:?}/"*
