perf test "perf script tests" fails as below in systems
with python 3.6

	File "/home/athira/linux/tools/perf/tests/shell/../../scripts/python/parallel-perf.py", line 442
	if line := p.stdout.readline():
             ^
	SyntaxError: invalid syntax
	--- Cleaning up ---
	---- end(-1) ----
	92: perf script tests: FAILED!

This happens because ":=" is a new syntax that assigns values
to variables as part of a larger expression. This is introduced
from python 3.8 and hence fails in setup with python 3.6
Address this by splitting the large expression and check the
value in two steps:
Previous line: if line := p.stdout.readline():
Current change:
	line = p.stdout.readline()
	if line:

With patch

	./perf test "perf script tests"
	 93: perf script tests:  Ok
