[D][E][SRU][PATCH 2/2] selftests/ftrace: Replace echo -e with printf

From: Juerg Haefliger <juerg.haefliger at canonical.com>

BugLink: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1828995

echo -e is not POSIX. Depending on what /bin/sh is, we can get
incorrect output like:
$ -e -n [1] Basic trace file check
$ -e 	[PASS]

Fix that by using printf instead.
