Subject: [PATCH] of: Don't allow __of_attached_node_sysfs() without CONFIG_SYSFS

Trying to boot without SYSFS, but with OF_DYNAMIC quickly
results in a crash:

While not having sysfs isn't a very common option these days,
it is still expected that such configuration would work.

Paper over it by bailing out from __of_attach_node_sysfs() if
CONFIG_SYSFS isn't enabled.
