[PATCH 2/2] Remove now unnecessary 'sync()' calls

[Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>]

Since the pack-files are now always created stably on disk, there is no
need to sync() before pruning lose objects or old stale pack-files.

This literally just removes the syncs. The only thing they wanted to 
protect were the pack-files, that are now created stably.

Yes, you can screw this up by doing direct filesystem operations on the 
pack-files (ie rsync/http walkers etc), but let's face it - those 
operations are pretty much fundamentally more problematic than anything we 
can do anyway, so I canno bring myself to care.

Also, maybe I missed some case where we should fsync. I think this is all 
good, but having other people look at and think about this would be better 
still.
