kernel-dev: Updates to "Creating the Append File" section.
Pointed out by Robert P. J. Day that I was using the wrong FILESEXTRAPATHS example for an append file. I failed to include the "_prepend" part of the variable. Also, the wording based on the example made some assumptions and was not entirely accurate. The changes I put in made the section very specific. Reported-by: Robert P. J. Day <rpjday@crashcourse.ca> (From yocto-docs rev: 659c5a9c41a92f469ea0ea3630e11b4ba2df8f56) Signed-off-by: Scott Rifenbark <scott.m.rifenbark@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie <richard.purdie@linuxfoundation.org>
