simplify/refactor fflush and make fflush_unlocked an alias for fflush
previously, fflush_unlocked was an alias for an internal backend that
was called by fflush, either for its argument or in a loop for each
file if a null pointer was passed. since the logic for the latter was
in the main fflush function, fflush_unlocked crashed when passed a
null pointer, rather than flushing all open files. since
fflush_unlocked is not a standard function and has no specification,
it's not clear whether it should be expected to accept null pointers
like fflush does, but a reasonable argument could be made that it
should.
this patch eliminates the helper function, simplifying fflush, and
makes fflush_unlocked an alias for fflush, which is valid because the
two functions agree in their behavior in all cases where their
behavior is defined (the unlocked version has undefined behavior if
another thread could hold locks).
