[PATCH 2/4] async: make async_synchronize_full() flush all workregardless of domain

[Dan Williams]

In response to an async related regression James noted:

  "My theory is that this is an init problem: The assumption in a lot of
   our code is that async_synchronize_full() waits for everything ... even
   the domain specific async schedules, which isn't true."

...so make this assumption true.

Each domain, including the default one, registers itself on a global domain
list when work is scheduled.  Once all entries complete it exits that
list.  Waiting for the list to be empty syncs all in-flight work across
all domains.
