The use of the return value of init_sysfs() with commit

 10f0412 oprofile, x86: fix init_sysfs error handling

discovered the following build error for !CONFIG_PM:

 .../linux/arch/x86/oprofile/nmi_int.c: In function ‘op_nmi_init’:
 .../linux/arch/x86/oprofile/nmi_int.c:784: error: expected expression before ‘do’
 make[2]: *** [arch/x86/oprofile/nmi_int.o] Error 1
 make[1]: *** [arch/x86/oprofile] Error 2

This patch fixes this.
