uml: flush stdout before forking
commit 0754fb298f2f2719f0393491d010d46cfb25d043 upstream.
I was seeing some really weird behaviour where piping UML's output
somewhere would cause output to get duplicated:
$ ./vmlinux | head -n 40
Checking that ptrace can change system call numbers...Core dump limits :
soft - 0
hard - NONE
OK
Checking syscall emulation patch for ptrace...Core dump limits :
soft - 0
hard - NONE
OK
Checking advanced syscall emulation patch for ptrace...Core dump limits :
soft - 0
hard - NONE
OK
Core dump limits :
soft - 0
hard - NONE
This is because these tests do a fork() which duplicates the non-empty
stdout buffer, then glibc flushes the duplicated buffer as each child
exits.
A simple workaround is to flush before forking.
