This patch introduces significant code duplication and complexity for
the sake of saving something like 10 cycles in an operation that makes
syscalls (i.e. takes thousands if not tens of thousands of cycles). As
mentioned on the bb list, the right fix is just making fflush_unlocked
an alias for fflush. Then __fflush_unlocked can be eliminated
completely and the file simplified rather than increased in
complexity. See the attached patch which I'll apply if there are no
obvious mistakes or objections.
