kernel-arch's KERNEL_CC maps STAGING_KERNEL_DIR and
STAGING_KERNEL_BUILDDIR to KERNEL_SRC_PATH, but the kernel itself builds
in ${B}, which isn't mapped. Sources generated there (*.mod.c, asn1
parsers, data tables, etc) fall through to the generic debug prefix map,
so the kernel's debug info is split across two roots, and those files
are the only content of the kernel's ${PN}-src package.

Map ${B} to KERNEL_SRC_PATH too. All of the kernel's debug source paths
are then under /usr/src/kernel, and no ${PN}-src package is created
for the kernel.

The generated sources aren't packaged anywhere. They aren't needed to
debug the kernel, and those that are of any use can be regenerated from
the kernel source, where they land at the path the debug info expects.

This is only done in kernel.bbclass, since other kernel-arch users
(module-base, perf, make-mod-scripts) have their own mapping.
