None of the above?  A sync(2) call, wherever found, is not the be-all and 
end-all of filesystem cleanup.  It just gets the fs cache-cleaning party 
started.  More than one is just fine, even zero is fine.  It's mostly just 
trying to help provide data-loss insurance against an unlikely kernel crash 
during the shutdown phase.  The final fs cleanup, and the only one that really 
counts, is what the kernel does after init(8) exits.
