Commit 7c32f7a2d3db ("selftests: net: py: don't default to shell=True")
changed the cmd() helper to avoid spawning a shell unless explicitly
requested.

The devlink_rate_tc_bw test enables SR-IOV by writing to the
sriov_numvfs sysfs attribute using redirection. Without shell=True the
redirection is not interpreted and the VF device never appears,
causing the test to fail.

Fix by explicitly passing shell=True in the two places that update
sriov_numvfs.
