printk: Allow printk_trigger_flush() to flush all types

Currently printk_trigger_flush() only triggers legacy offloaded
flushing, even if that may not be the appropriate method to flush
for currently registered consoles. (The function predates the
NBCON consoles.)

Since commit 6690d6b52726 ("printk: Add helper for flush type
logic") there is printk_get_console_flush_type(), which also
considers NBCON consoles and reports all the methods of flushing
appropriate based on the system state and consoles available.

Update printk_trigger_flush() to use
printk_get_console_flush_type() to appropriately flush registered
consoles.
