[dpdk-ci] script to determine target repo (was DPDK Lab)

-- Then if we find the performance issue, then maybe it's a false alarm due to apply to the wrong repo. So, we may face many false alarms according with the time. 
Then people may not treat the performance issue as a problem, so I still think we need to try 100% accurate to have a more trustable result when we send out the alarm.
