[Buildroot] [PATCH] linux: add option to include git submodules

[Buildroot] [PATCH] linux: add option to include git submodules

[Baruch Siach via buildroot]

Some kernel users find it useful to store submodules in the kernel
source tree for cross source trees definitions. Add option to download
these submodules.
