[Piglit] [Patch v5 4/4] piglit-run.py: Restrict dmesg to serial runs

[Dylan Baker]

Dmesg reporting has always been inaccurate with concurrent runs, and the
solution to concurrent runs would be to have each run take out a lock,
removing the chance that another test generated an error in dmesg while
it was running. But this effectively makes them a serial run, and at the
cost of greater code complexity. With that in mind it makes more sense
to just force --dmesg to imply -1.
