[printk] Flush console log from kernel_power_off()

Commit Message

Paul E. McKenney Feb. 25, 2025, 6:33 p.m. UTC

Kernels built with CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT=y can lose significant console output
and shutdown time, which hides shutdown-time RCU issues from rcutorture.
Therefore, make pr_flush() public and invoke it after then last print
in kernel_power_off().
