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:

        sysfs: Restrict mounting sysfs

        Don't allow mounting sysfs unless the caller has CAP_SYS_ADMIN rights
        over the net namespace.  The principle here is if you create or have
        capabilities over it you can mount it, otherwise you get to live with
        what other people have mounted.

        Instead of testing this with a straight forward ns_capable call,
        perform this check the long and torturous way with kobject helpers,
        this keeps direct knowledge of namespaces out of sysfs, and preserves
        the existing sysfs abstractions.
