Subject: [PATCH 2/3] Documentation: kunit: move mention of --jobs flag lower

Commit ad659ccb5412 ("kunit: tool: Default --jobs to number of CPUs")
changed the --jobs flag from a hard-coded value of 8 to basically
`nproc`.

Therefore, most users should probably not need to bother to tweak this
flag. Having it near the top of the page is more noise than anything.
