[RFC PATCH] 20-rc6-mm3: kernel/params.c: compile fail when CONFIG_SYSFS not set

[Grant Coady]

Hi there,

This patch is a guess at what's missing, to fix a compile failure when 
CONFIG_SYSFS not set, going by nearby context.  Please check (or forward 
to someone) as I'm not sure if this is the right thing to do here.  
Compile tested.

This looks correct, I'll add it to my patch queue, thanks.
