The default source code location for kernel is defined on the kernel.bbclass and it was 'S = "${STAGING_KERNEL_DIR}"'
In reality, although the kernel has its code in 'S = "${WORKDIR}/git"' it ends up being moved to '${STAGING_KERNEL_DIR}' in the do_symlink_kernsrc kernel.bbclass function.
With this change, the do_symlink_kernsrc kernel.bbclass function will no longer create the symbolic link and the final result will be the same.
