Subject: [PATCH -next] debugfs: no longer needs to depend on SYSFS

From: Randy Dunlap <randy.dunlap@...cle.com>

debugfs no longer uses 'kernel_subsys' (which is gone), and other
kernel/ksysfs.c code is always built, so DEBUG_FS does not need
to depend on SYSFS.

Fixes this kconfig warning:

warning: (TREE_RCU_TRACE || AMD_IOMMU_STATS && AMD_IOMMU || MTD_UBI_DEBUG && MTD && SYSFS && MTD_UBI || UBIFS_FS_DEBUG && MISC_FILESYSTEMS && UBIFS_FS || DEBUG_KMEMLEAK && DEBUG_KERNEL && EXPERIMENTAL && !MEMORY_HOTPLUG && (X86 || ARM || PPC || S390 || SPARC64 || SUPERH || MICROBLAZE) && SYSFS || TRACING || X86_PTDUMP && DEBUG_KERNEL || BLK_DEV_IO_TRACE && TRACING_SUPPORT && FTRACE && SYSFS && BLOCK) selects DEBUG_FS which has unmet direct dependencies (SYSFS)
