Subject: [PATCH] configfs: change depends -> select SYSFS

From: Nicholas Bellinger <nab@...ux-iscsi.org>

Hi Linus,

The following patch should be included for 38-rc1 to fix a rdd
reported linux-next kbuild warning introduced by TARGET_CORE
using 'select CONFIGFS_FS' from over the holidays, that was not
included with the initial target merge yesterday.

Thanks!

----------------------------------------------------------------

This patch changes configfs to select SYSFS to fix the following:

warning: (TARGET_CORE && GFS2_FS) selects CONFIGFS_FS which has unmet direct dependencies (SYSFS)

This patch also fixes whitespace breakage in the 'help' section.
