The GCR_EL1 context-switch test prints its TAP plan before forking 1,024
child processes. When stdout is fully buffered, the plan remains in the
stdio buffer. Each child inherits the pending "1..1" line and flushes its
copy from exit(), producing repeated plan lines.
ksft_print_header() enables line buffering before printing the TAP
header. Call it before the plan so the plan is flushed before the child
processes are forked.

Changes since v1:
- Explain how line buffering prevents duplicate plan lines.
- Use the selftests/arm64 subject prefix.
