commit a2785819453b7ea4386432aded4281c91f2ed193

    kernel - Fix sync() system call
    
    * The sync() system call was syncing the filesystems MNT_NOWAIT | MNT_LAZY.
      We need the MNT_NOWAIT to avoid an endless sync on a busy filesystem, but
      MNT_LAZY is another issue entirely.
    
    * Remove the MNT_LAZY from the sync() system call, it can cause whole
      files to not be synced.  It is meant only to be used by the automatic
      kernel 30-second sync (which eventually gets everything flushed out).
