[OE-core] [PATCH 1/5] kernel.bbclass: handles symbolic KERNEL_OUTPUT in bundle_initramfs task

[Hongxu Jia]

From: Ming Liu <ming.liu at windriver.com>

In many cases, KERNEL_OUTPUT is a symbolic link to the real bootable image,
but in bundle_initramfs task, it's not considered so that the KERNEL_OUTPUT
is being renamed/restored as a regular file, this leads it finally point to
a incorrect target, or even worse, break the bundle_initramfs task for
KERNEL_OUTPUT is not going to be regenerated in case it is a symbolic link
to vmlinux.
