We have been running 'make -j2 coccicheck' in the static analysis
build job on Travis CI, which worked just fine so far.  The Travis CI
build environments have 3GB of memory available [1], but, as shown in
[2], with this patch the memory consumption jumps up to about
1.3-1.8GB for each of those jobs.  So with two parallel jobs we will
very likely bump into this limit.

So this patch should definitely change that build script to run only a
single job.
