Checking manpages for syntax errors...
<standard input>:48: warning: macro `Q' not defined
Error in tc-taprio.8
Makefile:27: recipe for target 'check' failed

As far as I can see all the shell-ery should be portable and not
bash specific. Do not error out if man is not present, to avoid
issues on minimal build workers. The rest comes from coreutils
(tee, wc) so we can assume they are available.
