commit e1465d125d2189e667029b9fa8a6f455180fbcf2 upstream.

Commit b46e756f5e47 ("thp: extract khugepaged from mm/huge_memory.c")
moved code from huge_memory.c to khugepaged.c.  Some of this code should
be compiled only when CONFIG_SYSFS is enabled but the condition around
this code was not moved into khugepaged.c.

The result is a compilation error when CONFIG_SYSFS is disabled:

  mm/built-in.o: In function `khugepaged_defrag_store': khugepaged.c:(.text+0x2d095): undefined reference to `single_hugepage_flag_store'
  mm/built-in.o: In function `khugepaged_defrag_show': khugepaged.c:(.text+0x2d0ab): undefined reference to `single_hugepage_flag_show'

This commit adds the #ifdef CONFIG_SYSFS around the code related to
sysfs.
