[PATCH v2] selftests/lkdtm: Use /bin/sh not $SHELL
From: Kees Cook
Date: Fri Jun 18 2021 - 22:58:40 EST
Some environments do not set $SHELL when running tests. There's no need
to use $SHELL here anyway, so just replace it with hard-coded path
instead. Additionally avoid using bash-isms in the command, so that
regular /bin/sh can be used.
