[PATCH 4/5] perf, tools: flush output after each line in stat interval mode

[Andi Kleen]

From: Andi Kleen <ak@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

When interval mode is outputting to a pipe, each measurement
should be flushed individually, so that the reader sees it
timely.

With a terminal each line is automatically flushed by stdio,
but that is disabled with non terminal output.

Simply fflush output after each time interval
