Temporarily disable populate_db parallelism to support Django 1.6.

We don't really take good advantage of the parallelism anyway (though
it is very useful if you want to make 10000 messages, we don't do that
often).  If we decide we need that functionality, we can figure out
what the right way is to do threads with this stuff.
