sysfs: Allow mounting without CONFIG_NET
In kobj_ns_current_may_mount the default should be to allow the mount. The test is only for a single kobj_ns_type at a time, and unless there is a reason to prevent it the mounting sysfs should be allowed. Subsystems that are not registered can't have are not involved so can't have a reason to prevent mounting sysfs. This is a bug-fix to commit 7dc5dbc879bd ("sysfs: Restrict mounting sysfs") that came in via the userns tree during the 3.12 merge window.
