In test.d/instances/instance-event.tc, concurrently create/delete/access
intances just about 1 second and then killed them, it may cause missing
the race.

No longer sleep and kill, following testcase can also reproduce:
```
#!/bin/bash

cd /sys/kernel/tracing/instances

instance_slam() {
while :; do
mkdir foo 2> /dev/null
rmdir foo 2> /dev/null
done
}

instance_set() {
while :; do
echo 1 > foo/events/sched/sched_switch/enable
done 2> /dev/null
}

instance_slam &
p1=$!
echo $p1

instance_set &
p2=$!
echo $p2
```
