Hi Ralf,

Can you try this and confirm if it works?

--

When CONFIG_SYSFS is not set, CONFIG_FAIR_USER_SCHED fails to build
with

kernel/built-in.o: In function `uids_kobject_init':
(.init.text+0x1488): undefined reference to `kernel_subsys'
kernel/built-in.o: In function `uids_kobject_init':
(.init.text+0x1490): undefined reference to `kernel_subsys'
kernel/built-in.o: In function `uids_kobject_init':
(.init.text+0x1480): undefined reference to `kernel_subsys'
kernel/built-in.o: In function `uids_kobject_init':
(.init.text+0x1494): undefined reference to `kernel_subsys'

This patch fixes this build error.
