selftests: Remove forced unbuffering for test running

As it turns out, the "stdbuf" command will actually force all
subprocesses into unbuffered output, and some implementations of "echo"
turn into single-character writes, which utterly wrecks writes to /sys
and /proc files.

Instead, drop the "stdbuf" usage, and for any tests that want explicit
flushing between newlines, they'll have to add "fflush(stdout);" as
needed.
