Commit da29bd36224b ("mm/mm_init.c: make creation of the mm_kobj happen earlier than device_initcall") changed to pure_initcall(mm_sysfs_init). That's too early: mm_sysfs_init() depends on core_initcall(ksysfs_init) to have made the kernel_kobj directory "kernel" in which to create "mm". Make it postcore_initcall(mm_sysfs_init). We could use core_initcall(), and depend upon Makefile link order kernel/ mm/ fs/ ipc/ security/ ... as core_initcall(debugfs_init) and core_initcall(securityfs_init) do; but better not.
