This is a holdover from the original implementation in ac8d5af (builtin-status: submodule summary support, 2008-04-12), which just had the sub-process output to our descriptor; we had to make sure we had flushed any data that we produced before it started writing. Since 3ba7407 (submodule summary: ignore --for-status option, 2013-09-06), however, we pipe the sub-process output back to ourselves. So there's no longer any need to flush (it does not hurt, but it may leave readers wondering why we do it).
