Fix the 'rpm-pkg' makefile target to always generate the correct
/usr/src/kernel/<ver> symlink; this fails on non-RPM-native systems
eg Ubuntu.

On a non-RPM-native system, the symlink created by rpmbuild points to
the source tree, so the ln -sf commands to overwrite build and source will
create a new link inside the directory pointed to by the build and source
symlinks. This will break the -devel.rpm, as the build and source symlinks
will point to non existing directories after installing them.

Candidate for stable.
