I don't _think_ the check is strictly necessary, since building an image 
should always select PREFERRED_PROVIDER_virtual/kernel recipe. However, 
I don't know all use cases of kernel.bbclass and associated recipes, so 
I opted to preserve existing behavior to be on the safe side. I.e. 
Alternate kernel recipes are not be buildable unless KERNEL_PACKAGE_NAME 
is also changed.

I'll defer to someone else on entirely removing this sanity check. For 
now, I made the aforementioned change to other *-rt recipes as you 
suggested. Also verified linux-yocto-rt is not buildable unless 
`KERNEL_PACKAGE_NAME_pn-linux-yocto-rt = "rt-linux"` is added to local.conf.
