[yocto] [ptest-runner][PATCH v2 1/4] utils: Ensure stdout/stderr are flushed

[Randy MacLeod]

From: Richard Purdie <richard.purdie at linuxfoundation.org>

There is no guarantee that the data written with fwrite will be flushed to the
buffer. If stdout and stderr are the same thing, this could lead to interleaved
writes. The common case is stdout output so flush the output pipes when writing to
stderr. Also flush stdout before the function returns.

Upstream-Status: Pending [code being tested]
