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.
