selftests: tc-testing: cap parallel tdc to 4 cores
We have observed a lot of lock contention and test instability when running with >8 cores. Enough to actually make the tests run slower than with fewer cores. Cap the maximum cores of parallel tdc to 4 which showed in testing to be a reasonable number for efficiency and stability in different kernel config scenarios.
