[dpdk-stable] [PATCH v3] usertools: replace unsafe input function

[Andrius Sirvys]

LGTM static code analysis tool reports that the function 'input' is
unsafe. Changed to use raw_input which then converts it using
ast.literal_eval() which is safe.

Fixes: d1b94da4a4e0 ("usertools: add client script for telemetry")
