Thanks for the fast merge!

While Android VTS mostly runs C binaries, some test suites (like
controllers.memcg_control) still source tst_test.sh. Since Android's
Toybox uses Bionic libc, which strictly implements POSIX regex without
GNU \b, this fix prevents regex parsing failures. It is great news
that more tests are migrating to pure C.

We haven't adopted kirk yet, as our LTP execution is deeply integrated
into Google's Trade Federation (Tradefed) and VTS automation (via atest).
We will definitely keep an eye on it as it evolves.
Kind regards,
