Enalbe COPY_LIC_MANIFEST and COPY_LIC_DIRS: No kernel license is installed in image

*env
Add COPY_LIC_MANIFEST = "1" and COPY_LIC_DIRS = "1" to local.conf

*problem

Build image and no kernel license in ${IMAGE_ROOTFS}/usr/share/common-licenses/${pkg}/${lic};

jiahongxu:1.0-r0$bitbake core-image-minimal
jiahongxu:1.0-r0$ ls rootfs/usr/share/common-licenses/kernel-3.10.17-yocto-standard
jiahongxu:1.0-r0$ 

*analysis
For each recipe, it populated license files to ${LICENSE_DIRECTORY}/${PN},
such as kernel's license dir was ${LICENSE_DIRECTORY}/kernel-3.10.17-yocto-standard;

In do_rootfs task, it copied license directories from ${LICENSE_DIRECTORY}/
${pkg}, and ${pkg} was listed in ${INSTALLED_PKGS};

We got ${INSTALLED_PKGS} by rpm query, such as the kernel were 'kernel-*',
but the kernel's PN was linux-yocto, so searching ${LICENSE_DIRECTORY}/
kernel-* failed.

*solution
Copied license directories from ${LICENSE_DIRECTORY}/${PN} fixed this issue.
