Subject: [PATCH] sefltests/ftrace: Use /bin/echo for output with options

Use /bin/echo for console output with options like non
newline (-n) and/or backslash escape (-e).

Tom Zanussi reported that when he tested ftracetest, it
shows "-e" and "-n" options on the console, since a system
which uses dash as the alias of /bin/sh, uses dash built-in
echo command which doesn't accept "-e".

To avoid this issue, use /bin/echo instead of echo for
the output with options.
