In kselftest_deps.sh script, the level 3 parser is broken for the alsa subsystem Makefile.

This seems like an undocumented bodge for whatever limitation the checker script has. If nothing else someone might come along later and switch back to using the standard variable name, and TBH it does feel like it'd be better to teach the checker to understand the pkg-config idiom here.
