[PATCH v5 3/5] perf test: Fix parallel/sequential option documentation
From: Ian Rogers
Date: Thu Jan 09 2025 - 23:58:24 EST
The parallel option was removed in commit 94d1a913bdc4 ("perf test:
Make parallel testing the default"). Update the sequential
documentation to reflect it isn't the default except for "exclusive"
tests.
Fixes: 94d1a913bdc4 ("perf test: Make parallel testing the default")
