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)

$ git commit --allow-empty -m "Create orphan meta branch"
</literallayout>
</para>
<para>
If you modify the Metadata in the linux-yocto
<filename>meta</filename> branch, you must not forget to update
the
<ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#var-SRCREV'><filename>SRCREV</filename></ulink>
statements in the kernel's recipe.
In particular, you need to update the
<filename>SRCREV_meta</filename> variable to match the commit in
the <filename>KMETA</filename> branch you wish to use.
Changing the data in these branches and not updating the
<filename>SRCREV</filename> statements to match will cause the
build to fetch an older commit.
