The actual number of allocated processes is incorrect with --dryrun and --processes options

[WendyInXian]

Pabot version: 2.18.0
Robotframework Version: 7.0.1

Issue:

There are 4 suites in my project, when I tried to run the whole project with specified processes,
and --dryrun option.

The number of allocated processes will change according to the specified processes.

One process was assigned when --processes = 6

pabot --processes 6 --dryrun .
