[PATCH] cyclictest: add command line option for unbuffered output

[PATCH] cyclictest: add command line option for unbuffered output

[Wolfram Sang]

From: Michael Olbrich <m.olbrich@pengutronix.de>

Wenn reading the output from cyclictest with another program, the data is
buffered by default. This prevents nice 'live' display.
This patch adds an command line option to force the output to always be
unbuffered.
