sys_sysfs: Add CONFIG_SYSFS_SYSCALL
sys_sysfs is an obsolete system call no longer supported by libc. - This patch adds a default CONFIG_SYSFS_SYSCALL=y - Option can be turned off in expert mode. - cond_syscall added to kernel/sys_ni.c [akpm@linux-foundation.org: tweak Kconfig help text] Signed-off-by: Fabian Frederick <fabf@skynet.be> Cc: Randy Dunlap <rdunlap@infradead.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
