[OE-core] apparently superfluous 'do_kernel_checkout[dirs] = "${S}"'

[Robert P. J. Day]

  yes, more pedantry ... just to make sure i'm (again) not missing
anything subtle, but it seems that this line in kernel-yocto.bbclass:

  do_kernel_checkout[dirs] = "${S}"

is unnecessary since kernel_checkout() explicitly removes and
recreates that directory anyway.  no, i'm not going to submit a patch
for that :-), just want to know that i'm understanding this correctly.

  i guess the same could be said for the line below that:

  do_kernel_configme[dirs] = "${S} ${B}"

since that step happens after the kernel checkout and one would think
that at least ${S} must exist at that point or something's gone
horribly wrong.

  back to proofreading ...
