[PATCH 2/2] perf test: Replace legacy `...` with $(...)

From: Diederik de Haas
Date: Wed Feb 01 2023 - 16:50:55 EST


As detailed in https://www.shellcheck.net/wiki/SC2006:

The use of `...` is legacy syntax with several issues:
1. It has a series of undefined behaviors related to quoting in POSIX.
2. It imposes a custom escaping mode with surprising results.
3. It's exceptionally hard to nest.

$(...) command substitution has none of these problems,
and is therefore strongly encouraged.
