[OE-core] [PATCH V3 1/3] kernel.bbclass: do not install initramfs bundled kernel image

[Ming Liu]

From: Ming Liu <peter.x.liu at external.atlascopco.com>

It makes no sense to install a initramfs bundled kernel image since
do_package does not depend on do_bundle_initramfs at all, otherwise, it
leads to a impicit kernel-image package depending on do_package run before
or after do_bundle_initramfs.

And for some reason, we can not add a intertask dependency between
do_package and do_bundle_initramfs, that would introduce a circular
dependency in following scenarios:
1 Some kernel modules have been added into INITRAMFS_IMAGE.
2 INITRAMFS_IMAGE has been bundled into kernel image.
3 kernel-image package has been added into core image's IMAGE_INSTALL.

We need firgure out another way to fix this problem.
