The pcap file will be synchronized to the disk when stopping the device.
It takes a long time if the file is large that would cause the
'detach sync request' timeout when the device is closed under multi-process
scenario.
This commit fixes the issue by performing synchronization in Tx path

'pcap_dump_flush()' should be doing the same thing, to write buffer to
file, isn't it working?
Can you check the return value of the 'pcap_dump_flush()' API, I wonder
if it keeps failing, for some reason?
