I'm confused - NET_NS is defined in init/Kconfig right now. Is the tree
you're working from very different from mine, or is this the unfortunate
rekult of the patches sitting so long?

I think the kobj_ns_type_register() needs to be under
ifdef CONFIG_SYSFS as well, bc net_ns_type_operations is defined
under ifdef CONFIG_SYSFS.
