It's minor nitpick but we don't need to put this in .bss, passing it
as hugepage_init_sysfs(struct kobject **hugepage_kobj) and storing it
there in case the error returned by hugepage_init_sysfs is zero should
be fine. The feature cannot be unloaded so we can lose the pointer
after init is complete.

Then I think we can be done with this... and it looks better now.
