Fix freezing of 'test_brb' if iperf is not found

If iperf is not installed or installed at a location that is not
in PATH as recgnized by Python, then 'test_brb' will fail while
test_brb2 success.

test_brb:

OK

test_brb2 success because there is @mayFail in it which come from
commit a47c44fa0d570b64d8cb06449052db4f363e80a4

so add @mayFail in test_brb
