Subject: [RFC 2/2] Arch: Kconfig: Disable obsolete syscalls

fs: sysfs syscall: Disable if DISABLE_OBSOLETE_SYSCALLS

sysfs syscall is obsolete (cf man sysfs).

Don't define fs_index, fs_name, fs_maxindex functions when
DISABLE_OBSOLETE_SYSCALLS is defined.
In that case, SYSCALL_DEFINE3(sysfs...) returns automatically -EINVAL.
