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.
