[PATCH v2] devtools: parallelize ABI check

[Thomas Monjalon]

Generation and comparison of ABI dumps are done on multiple cores
thanks to xargs -P0.
It can accelerate this long step by 5 in my tests.

xargs reports a global error if one of the process has an error.

Running a shell function with xargs requires to export it with -f,
and that is a specific capability of bash.

v2:
        - find dump2 inside the function
        - force bash because of export -f
