Subject: [PATCH v2 4/4] selftests/resctrl: Flush stdout file buffer before executing fork()
Date:   Wed,  5 Oct 2022 10:39:33 +0900

When a process has buffered output, a child process created by fork()
will also copy buffered output. When using kselftest framework,
the output (resctrl test result message) will be printed multiple times.

Add fflush() to flush out the buffered output before executing fork().
