Subject: [PATCH v5 3/5] perf test: Fix parallel/sequential option documentation

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")
