Browser startup in Telemetry is flaky when run in parallel on Linux platform

Project Member Reported by nedngu...@google.com, Mar 2 2017

Issue description

Browser startup in Telemetry is flaky when run in parallel on Linux platform. This has been making telemetry_perf_unittests super flaky on Linux (https://test-results.appspot.com/dashboards/flakiness_dashboard.html#testType=telemetry_perf_unittests&builder=tryserver.chromium.linux%3Alinux_chromium_rel_ng) & force us to disable parallelization in telemetry_unittest on Linux (issue 676742)

The first suspect is we need to disable gpu when running browser in parallel, see: https://github.com/catapult-project/catapult/issues/3074#issuecomment-266176383

Looking at one of the failing shards:
https://chromium-swarm.appspot.com/task?id=34a8b3b0ef322b10&refresh=10&show_raw=1

the machine is a VM running Mesa and the Gallium/LLVMpipe renderer:

  OS: linux trusty
  GPU device 0: VENDOR = 0x0, DEVICE = 0x0
  GPU Attributes:
    amd_switchable      : False
    basic_info_state    : 2
    context_info_state  : 1
    direct_rendering    : True
    driver_date         : 
    driver_vendor       : Mesa
    driver_version      : 10.1.3
...
    gl_renderer         : Gallium 0.4 on llvmpipe (LLVM 3.4, 256 bits)
    gl_reset_notification_strategy: 33377
    gl_vendor           : VMware, Inc.
    gl_version          : 2.1 Mesa 10.1.3


I'm surprised if Chrome goes down its GPU path in this configuration, though I suppose adding --disable-gpu to the command line wouldn't hurt things further.
