Subject: [PATCH 42/75] sysfs: Make sysfs_mount static

From: Eric W. Biederman <ebiederm@...ssion.com>

This patch modifies the users of sysfs_mount to use sysfs_root
instead (which is what they are looking for).  It then
makes sysfs_mount static to keep people from using it
by accident.

The net result is slightly faster and cleaner code.
