async: use ULLONG_MAX for infinity cookie value Currently, next_cookie is used as the infinity value. In most cases, this should work fine but it theoretically could bring subtle behavior difference between async_synchronize_full() and async_synchronize_full_domain(). async_synchronize_full() keeps waiting until there's no registered async_entry left regardless of what next_cookie was when the function was called. It guarantees that the queue is completely drained at least once before returning. However, async_synchronize_full_domain() doesn't. It synchronizes upto next_cookie and if further async jobs are queued after the next_cookie value to synchronize is decided, they won't be waited for. For unrelated async jobs, the behavior difference doesn't matter; however, if async jobs which are related (nested or otherwise) to the executing ones are queued while sychronization is in progress, the resulting behavior difference could be problematic. This can be easily fixed by using ULLONG_MAX as the infinity value instead. Define ASYNC_COOKIE_MAX as ULLONG_MAX and use it as the infinity value for synchronization. This makes async_synchronize_full_domain() fully drain the domain at least once before returning, making its behavior match async_synchronize_full().
