Subject: async: make async_synchronize_full() more serializing
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=33b04b9308959af7febc1c111c766fa3fd8b1934;p=GitHub%2Fmoto-9609%2Fandroid_kernel_motorola_exynos9610.git

async: make async_synchronize_full() more serializing

turns out that there are real problems with allowing async
tasks that are scheduled from async tasks to run after
the async_synchronize_full() returns.

This patch makes the _full more strict and a complete
synchronization. Later I might need to add back a lighter
form of synchronization for other uses.. but not right now.
