I run into this when debugging a problem with grub-probe silently hanging
when opening /dev/fd0. Turns out that because of stderr buffering I didn't
get to see the output at all. I think grub_util_info should flush it since
it can be critical information to find a problem (in my case, a bogus /dev/fd0
entry in device.map).
See attached patch.
