/**
 * A No-Op implementation of Sync. Acquire never blocks,
 * Attempt always succeeds, Release has no effect.
 * However, acquire and release do detect interruption
 * and throw InterruptedException. Also, the methods
 * are synchronized, so preserve memory barrier properties
 * of Syncs.
 * <p>
 * NullSyncs can be useful in optimizing classes when
 * it is found that locking is not strictly necesssary.
