I've finally prefered to keep the script as-is. Reusing lib.sh wouldn't
simplify much, but would require to use bash. And just changing the
shebang to "#! /bin/bash" adds a 1.5 second penalty to the selftest
execution time. That's acceptable of course, but I'm getting a bit
tired of kselftests execution time, so I'd rather not contribute to
increasing it uselessly.
