kernel-dev: Added detail to start of generating config file 

Fixes [YOCTO #7474]

The "Generating Configuration Files" section has a procedure that
starts with a step to complete a build at least through the
kernel configuration task.  This is needed but we could use a
bit of explanation here.  I added some rationale behind why you
should do this.

This step ensures that you will be creating a
<filename>.config</filename> file from a known state.
Because situations exist where your build state might
become unknown, it is best to run the previous
