kernel-dev: Updated the in-tree metadata section
Fixes [YOCTO #5065]
I added a blurb at the end of the section that talks about in-tree
metadata. The blurb addresses situations where the user has changed
the metadata but not updated the corresponding SRCREV variables
in the kernel receipe.
(From yocto-docs rev: 5d3dc0e6ebc40b937c3f3ef397e2c94e7cb3b69b)
