The rules for these two jobs are not compatible with the depedency
declared between them.

The docker-edk2 job is set to exist only when edk2.yml or Dockerfile
are changed:

 docker-edk2:
   stage: containers
   rules: # Only run this job when the Dockerfile is modified
   - changes:
     - .gitlab-ci.d/edk2.yml
     - .gitlab-ci.d/edk2/Dockerfile
     when: always


The build-edk2 job is set to exist based on a wide variety of
changes

 build-edk2:
   stage: build
   needs: ['docker-edk2']
   rules: # Only run this job when ...
   - changes: # ... roms/edk2/ is modified (submodule updated)
     - roms/edk2/*
     when: always
   - if: '$CI_COMMIT_REF_NAME =~ /^edk2/' # or the branch/tag starts with 'edk2'
     when: always
   - if: '$CI_COMMIT_MESSAGE =~ /edk2/i' # or last commit description contains 'EDK2'
     when: always


If those jobs were independant those different sets of conditions
would be ok.  The build-edk2 job, however, has a 'needs' clause
adding a depdancy on 'docker-edk2'.

Given this dependancy, in *EVERY* scenario were 'build-edk2' job
exists, the 'docker-edk2' job *MUST* also exist. This isn't the
case, hence the failed pipeline.

This can be fixed by taking the 'rules' from 'build-edk2' and
also applying them to 'docker-edk2'.

Daniel
