[NET]: Fix running without sysfs

When sysfs support is compiled out the kernel still keeps and maintains
the kobject tree.  So it is not safe to skip our kobject reference counting or
to avoid becoming members of the kobject tree.  It is safe to not add
the networking specific sysfs attributes.

This patch removes the sysfs special cases from net/core/dev.c
renames functions from netdev_sysfs_xxxx to netdev_kobject_xxxx
and always compiles in net-sysfs.c

net-sysfs.c is modified with a CONFIG_SYSFS guard around the parts
that are actually sysfs specific.
