[OE-core][scarthgap 23/37] classes/kernel: No symlink in postinst without KERNEL_IMAGETYPE_SYMLINK

[Steve Sakoman <steve@sakoman.com>]

From: Jörg Sommer <joerg.sommer@navimatix.de>

The commit “Use a copy of image for kernel*.rpm if fs doesn't support
symlinks” [1] added postinst and postrm scripts to the kernel package which
create a symlink after package installation. This should not happen if
`KERNEL_IMAGETYPE_SYMLINK` is not `1`.

Background: The u-boot implementation of jffs2 does not support symlinks.
Using a hardlink or removing `${KERNEL_VERSION}` from the file name fails,
because the current postinst script replaces the file with the symlink.
