Since the commit fe26b2379ecd ("image.bbclass: Depend on
virtual/kernel:do_deploy"), the image.bbclass made building images
depend on virtual/kernel. For some images, including small initramfs,
this is not the case. Allow overriding this dependency in case
developers knows what they are doing.

Changes since v1:
 - Use the same variable in both lines
 - Change the var name to KERNEL_DEPLOY_DEPEND as suggested in the
   revert message.

Typo: follow -> follows.

I'm taking this patch for testing and I fixed the typo while doing
that. Please fix it on your side in case you need to send another
version.

Kind regards.
