Günter reports build breakage for m68k "m5208evb_defconfig" plus
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_INITRD=y caused by commit 66bc1a173328 ("treewide:
Use sysfs_bin_attr_simple_read() helper").

The defconfig disables CONFIG_SYSFS, so sysfs_bin_attr_simple_read()
is not compiled into the kernel.  But init/initramfs.c references
that function in the initializer of a struct bin_attribute.

Add an empty static inline to avoid the build breakage.

Fixes: 66bc1a173328 ("treewide: Use sysfs_bin_attr_simple_read() helper")

Closes: https://lore.kernel.org/r/e12b0027-b199-4de7-b83d-668171447ccc@roeck-us.net (local)

Works for me.
