Boqun Feng 4a5dc632e0 rust: sync: atomic: Remove bound T: Sync for Atomic::from_ptr()
Originally, `Atomic::from_ptr()` requires `T` being a `Sync` because I
thought having the ability to do `from_ptr()` meant multiplle
`&Atomic<T>`s shared by different threads, which was identical (or
similar) to multiple `&T`s shared by different threads. Hence `T` was
required to be `Sync`. However this is not true, since `&Atomic<T>` is
not the same at `&T`. Moreover, having this bound makes `Atomic::<*mut
T>::from_ptr()` impossible, which is definitely not intended. Therefore
remove the `T: Sync` bound.
