Subject: [PATCH] kbuild: delete INSTALL_FW_PATH from kbuild documentation

From: Randy Dunlap <rdunlap@...radead.org>

Removed Kbuild documentation for INSTALL_FW_PATH.

The kbuild symbol INSTALL_FW_PATH was removed from Kbuild tools in
September 2014 (for 4.14) but the symbol was not deleted from
the kbuild documentation, so do that now.

Fixes: 5620a0d1aac ("firmware: delete in-kernel firmware")
