The verbose output in the error case could also
be tweaked.

Before patch:

 $ strip tools/perf/perf
 $ tools/perf/perf buildid-cache -p $(realpath tools/perf/perf)
 $ tools/perf/perf test -v 'diff test'
  85: perf diff tests                                                 :
 --- start ---
 test child forked, pid 8621
 Basic two file diff test
 ./tools/perf/tests/shell/diff.sh: 51: [: Workload: unexpected operator
 ./tools/perf/tests/shell/diff.sh: 56: [: Workload: unexpected operator
 Basic two file diff test [Failed diff]
 Basic three file diff test
 ./tools/perf/tests/shell/diff.sh: 73: [: Workload: unexpected operator
 ./tools/perf/tests/shell/diff.sh: 78: [: Workload: unexpected operator
 ./tools/perf/tests/shell/diff.sh: 83: [: Workload: unexpected operator
 Basic three file diff test [Failed diff]
 test child finished with -1
 ---- end ----
 perf diff tests: FAILED!

After patch:

 $ tools/perf/perf test -v 'diff test'
  85: perf diff tests                                                 :
 --- start ---
 test child forked, pid 8853
 perf does not have symbol 'test_loop'
 perf is missing symbols - skipping test
 test child finished with -2
 ---- end ----
 perf diff tests: Skip

 and with symbols:

 $ tools/perf/perf test -v 'diff test'
  85: perf diff tests                                                 :
 --- start ---
 test child forked, pid 10122
  103e20-103e60 g test_loop
 perf does have symbol 'test_loop'
 Basic two file diff test
 Basic two file diff test [Success]
 Basic three file diff test
 Basic three file diff test [Success]
 test child finished with 0
 ---- end ----
 perf diff tests: Ok
