I was not really sure about the proper place - if it could be placed
before if() or after the if(){} - as I've not checked in depth
connection between kobj and sysfs. It's somewhat unclear why all the
kobject operation are only within this if(){} block - so I've thought
there is some reason...
IMHO only elv_unregister_queue() should be probably in the if(){} block.

Feel free to update/fix.
