[OE-core] [PATCH 1/1] kernel: restore scripts in the sysroot

[Bruce Ashfield]

When building against the sysroot, out of tree modules can require modpost
and other utilities normally found in the kernel's scripts directory. For
the kernel source in the staging dir, these scripts have been removed to
avoid mixing archiectures when packaging kernel-dev (among other things).

Rather than further complicate the kernel's install rule, or its packaging,
we can jump into the sysroot and restore the scripts by building them, hence
making them available to packages that need them.
