Subject: [PATCH 4/5] drivers/xen: make sys-hypervisor.c explicitly non-modular

The Kconfig currently controlling compilation of this code is:

config XEN_SYS_HYPERVISOR
       bool "Create xen entries under /sys/hypervisor"

...meaning that it currently is not being built as a module by anyone.

Lets remove the modular code that is essentially orphaned, so that
when reading the driver there is no doubt it is builtin-only.

Since module_init translates to device_initcall in the non-modular
case, the init ordering remains unchanged with this commit.  However
one could argue that fs_initcall() might make more sense here.

This change means that the one line function xen_properties_destroy()
has only one user left, and since that is inside an #ifdef, we just
manually inline it there vs. adding more ifdeffery around the function
to avoid compile warnings about "defined but not used".
