Subject: [PATCH rcu 11/12] torture: Flush printk() buffers before powering off

The rcutorture test suite produces quite a bit of console output
at the end of a test.  This means that the new printk() kthreads
are likely to be in the process of flushing output at the time of
the torture_shutdown() function's call to kernel_power_off().

This commit therefore invokes pr_flush(1000, true) to flush this
pending console output before invoking kernel_power_off().

Fixes: 8e274732115f ("printk: extend console_lock for per-console locking")
