    vol: remove SYNC fatal_error processing
    
    Currently SYNC clients will "disable" themselves on certain error
    patterns. For example, if the server end closes its file descriptor
    too many times, or takes too long and then closes the fd, the SYNC
    client will return an error and set fatal_error. On any subsequent
    SYNC requests, the request will immediately fail without contacting
    the server, often making SYNC client programs effectively useless
    until they are restarted.
    
    There isn't really any reason to cause future requests to fail.
    Transient problems in the fileserver can easily make this situation
    possible (e.g. a fileserver can crash but still take several minutes
    to close the SYNC fd while the core is written to disk), and so while
    we may return an error for a specific problematic request, future
    requests may be fine.
    
    So, just remove everything related to fatal_error, so future SYNC
    requests can continue to be attempted. Adjust some log messages to
    reflect the new behavior.
