With S outside STAGING_KERNEL_DIR, a second do_symlink_kernsrc without
do_unpack deletes the sources and leaves STAGING_KERNEL_DIR as a link
to itself:

  do_kernel_checkout: [Errno 17] File exists: '.../linux-yocto-7.2.13+git'

S is already a symlink to STAGING_KERNEL_DIR by then. Skip the move
when the two resolve to the same directory.

[YOCTO #15325]
