linux-imx.inc: inherit kernel-yocto class

Since commit [de2ef0120432cba343452151e86cbc3c99876524] in oe-core, it
is possible to use kernel-yocto class without including linux-yocto.inc
into the recipe.

Inherit the class in order to take advantage of providing mechanisms to
use kernel config fragments, patches and verification features
implemented upstream.
