[yocto] kernel manual: confusing coverage of FILESEXTRAPATHS_prepend

  minor quibble about kernel dev manual -- section 2.2.1, "creating
the append file", uses the example of:

 FILESEXTRAPATHS_prepend := "${THISDIR}/${PN}:"

while section 2.2.3 uses:

 FILESEXTRAPATHS_prepend := "${THISDIR}/files:"

both sections kind of implying that that's the way to do it, without
making it clear that *either* way works as long as the variable
prepend matches up with the directory name.

  both ways are correct, of course, but the wording is a bit
confusing.
