Subject: [PATCH] docs: rust: Clarify that 'rustup override' applies to build directory
Date:   Fri,  8 Dec 2023 15:48:01 +0530

Rustup override is required to be set for the build directory and not
necessarily the kernel source tree (unless the build directory is its
subdir).

Clarify the same in quick-start guide.
