sync_filesystems() shouldn't be calling async_synchronize_full_special

Out of curiousity, what on earth does
async_synchronize_full_special() do and why does it need to be in
sync_filesystems()?
now that we have asynchronous operations, this function makes sure that all the functions
that we started async before this point complete, so that what when you sync, you sync all in progress work.
