[PATCH] remove CONFIG_KOBJECT_UEVENT option

It makes zero sense to have hotplug, but not the netlink
events enabled today. Remove this option and merge the
kobject_uevent.h header into the kobject.h header file.

This option enables the kernel userspace event layer, which is a
simple mechanism for kernel-to-user communication over a netlink
socket.
The goal of the kernel userspace events layer is to provide a simple
and efficient events system, that notifies userspace about kobject
state changes. This will enable applications to just listen for
events instead of polling system devices and files.
Hotplug events (kobject addition and removal) are also available on
the netlink socket in addition to the execution of /sbin/hotplug if
CONFIG_HOTPLUG is enabled.
Say Y, unless you are building a system requiring minimal memory
consumption.
