By having a dependency on images/barebox-dt-2nd.img for the symlink we
may hit a race where the rule for barebox-dt-2nd.img inside in
images/Makefile is executed twice leading to build breakage.

Fix this by changing the dependency in the top-level Makefile to be on
images/, so make doesn't attempt descending twice into images/Makefile
in parallel.

Fixes: a1f893cc16e6 ("kbuild: collect compatibility symlink creation in symlink-y")
