I think /etc/init.d/sysfs just sets up the mounts and then exits, so there is no need for a "stop" since it is never in a "running" state (well, maybe for a split second). there is no sysfs daemon and running status of /etc/init.d/sysfs does not indicate whether or not sysfs is mounted. I think you should check /proc/mounts for that. But I could be wrong. :)
