ref-manual: Edits to KERNEL_SRC and KERNEL_PATH variables.
These variable descriptions were identical in the ref-manual. I found out some reasoning behind that and added a bit of explanation to the entries. Reported-by: Robert P. J. Day <rpjday@crashcourse.ca> (From yocto-docs rev: 5c786b5b62fefb959ed7c13bb83e718a9eb22189) Signed-off-by: Scott Rifenbark <scott.m.rifenbark@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie <richard.purdie@linuxfoundation.org>
