[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v2] usertools: dpdk-telemetry-client.py run into looping status

[Andrius Sirvys]

The ast.literal_eval() was used incorrectly and wouldn't properly
retrieve the user option. Was causing the options to keep being listed
in a loop. Removed and replaced with raw_input() being cast to an int.
Works as expected now.

Fixes: 53f293c9a783 ("usertools: replace unsafe input function")
