fix existing bazel link removal

[zpcore]

In Pytorch upstream CI, which calls .circleci.common.sh. We saw the Failure:

Also I disable xla/test/test_profiler.py for now to unblock the CI in pytorch upstream. @ysiraichi

Is there a way to test that this PR works? The error

ln: failed to create symbolic link '/usr/bin/bazel' -> '': No such file or directory 

suggests to me that which bazelisk is returning '', which is why ln is trying to link /usr/bin/bazel to '' and failing. This suggests that bazelisk installation failed.

The failure is due to sudo npm install -g @bazel/bazelisk failed, which complains /usr/local/bin/bazel already exists.

Gotcha!
