[SCSI] async: make async_synchronize_full() flush all work regardless of domain
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. Domains can opt-out of global syncing if they are declared as exclusive ASYNC_DOMAIN_EXCLUSIVE(). All stack-based domains have been declared exclusive since the domain may go out of scope as soon as the last work item completes. Statically declared domains are mostly ok, but async_unregister_domain() is there to close any theoretical races with pending async_synchronize_full waiters at module removal time.
