[RamLavi]

Fixes #2835

What this PR does / why we need it:

This PR fixes a CI failure in the kubevirt-ipam-controller e2e test that was failing with "OCI_BIN: unbound variable" error.

The root cause was the increase_ulimit() function checking ${OCI_BIN} without a default value while running with set -u enabled. This became an issue after the yq v4 upgrade removed the OCI_BIN initialization that was previously done for yq v3's container-based execution.

The fix uses ${OCI_BIN:-} syntax to provide an empty string default when OCI_BIN is unset, preventing the error while maintaining the correct conditional logic.

Special notes for your reviewer:

This is a one-line fix changing line 23 of automation/check-patch.e2e-kubevirt-ipam-controller-functests.sh from:

if [ -z "${OCI_BIN}" ];then

to:

if [ -z "${OCI_BIN:-}" ];then

The :- parameter expansion is the standard bash idiom for handling potentially unset variables when set -u is active.

Release note:

NONE

This pull request updates the increase_ulimit function in the check-patch.e2e-kubevirt-ipam-controller-functests.sh script to safely handle the OCI_BIN variable when it is unbound by using the ${OCI_BIN:-} parameter expansion. There are no review comments to address.
