[Bug runtime/6504] change _stp_print_flush to avoid calling into kernel/relay.c

Actually, I tried to fix this bug by just replacing timer with workqueue. However,
it was not safe because queue_delayed_work() used add_timer(), and queue_work()
used wake_up(). So it will cause another deadlock. That is why I decided to use 
an interval timer.
