Vegard Nossum 0754fb298f uml: flush stdout before forking
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.
