[patch] CONFIG_KOBJECT_UEVENTS in 2.6.15

Greetings.

IMHO since CONFIG_KOBJECT_UEVENT depends on CONFIG_EMBEDDED it should be
placed in this menu. Now it is in "General setup", what might cause, or
I am such a dumb, some confusion because it is invisible "without any
reason" until C_E is. Here you are a patch that, let me say, fixes the
Kconfig file.

KOBJECT_UEVENT is gone from 2.6.16-rc, so this patch isn't needed at
all.
