[patch] sysfs: Fix build when sysfs is disabled

"sysfs: Functions for adding/removing symlinks to/from attribute groups"
causes a build failure when CONFIG_SYSFS is disabled:

drivers/acpi/power.c: In function 'acpi_power_hide_list':
drivers/acpi/power.c:463: error: implicit declaration of function 'sysfs_remove_link_from_group'
drivers/acpi/power.c: In function 'acpi_power_expose_list':
drivers/acpi/power.c:486: error: implicit declaration of function 'sysfs_add_link_to_group'

We need to define empty functions for this config to avoid ifdefs in the
code.
