perf bench: Flush stdout before starting bench suite

perf bench prints header message for bench suite before starting the
benchmark. However if the stdout is redirected to a file and bench
suite forks child processes this (and possibly other debugging
messages too) will be repeated multiple times.

$ perf bench sched messaging
# Running sched/messaging benchmark...
# 20 sender and receiver processes per group
# 10 groups == 400 processes run

Total time: 0.100 [sec]

$ perf bench sched messaging > result.txt
$ wc -l result.txt
391

In this file, there were so many "Running sched/messaging benchmark..."
lines. This was because stdout is converted to fully-buffered due to
the redirection and inherited child processes. Other lines are printed
after reaping all those tasks.

So fix it by flushing stdout before starting bench suites.
