kernel-dev: Added new requirement for working with yocto-linux-custom.bb
Fixes [YOCTO #6611]
Added a new step to the "Working With Your Own Sources" section
so that the user is aware of needing to provide a defconfig file
or configuration fragments to the SRC_URI variable when working
with the yocto-linux-custom.bb recipe.
(From yocto-docs rev: dd25274979f689ae9135158279080add19a98393)
