machine-id-setup: explicitly fsync() the machine ID after writing

As discussed here:

https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/2619#issuecomment-184670042

Explicitly syncing /etc/machine-id after writing it, is probably a good idea,
since it has a strong "commit" character and is generally a one-time thing.

Fixes #2619.
