The deadlock occurs when another goroutine requests GC
during the test. When wait=true the test expects physical parallelism,
that is, that P goroutines are all active at the same time.
If GC is requested, then part of the goroutines are not scheduled,
so other goroutines deadlock.
With wait=false, goroutines finish parallel for w/o waiting for all
other goroutines.
Fixes#3954.

The race detector does not understand ParFor synchronization, because it's implemented in C.
If run with -cpu=2 currently race detector says:

Also add call to GC() to make it easier to re-enable the test.
Update #4155.
When we have precise GC merged, re-enable this test.
