LU-11878 tests: don't fork-bomb sanity test_103b

Running sanity test_103b may start up to 512 parallel threads for
running the test, each of which starts two bash processes and lfs
or rm processes.

For the VMs running in our testbed (esp. ARM with 64KB PAGE_SIZE)
this can trigger the OOM killer and cause the test to fail if bash
is killed.  Limit the number of started bash processes to avoid this.
