This dramatically reduces the time to create squashfs filesystems. The times below are observed when building an image for my main router, the WatchGuard Firebox M300 (qoriq target): Before: real 4m45,973s After: real 0m23,497s With this commit `mksquashfs` may use more cores than defined via `-j`. This is the same behaviour as for archive creation of ImageBuilder, SDK or toolchain. There is no trivial way to limit `mksquashfs` CPU core usage to the amount of "free" make jobs since two running `mksquashfs` instances would each run with the total allowed number (-j) of threads.
