When this change was added, I was under the impression that the synchronization must be used when using non_blocking data transfer. This is true if the non_blocking device transfer was async in respect to other cuda ops (i.e. if we were using a non-default stream for data transfer). It is not the case here, so it seems like we don't need a sync.
