redhat/kernel.spec.template: fix installonlypkg for meta package

Jan Stancek requested to merge jstancek/kernel-ark:fix_installonlypkg_for_meta_package into os-build

The meta package is missing 'installonlypkg' Provides. This causes an issue with upgrade path in downstream RHEL for 'kernel-rt' (RHBZ 2177242): cannot install both kernel-rt-5.14.0-286.el9.x86_64 and kernel-rt-5.14.0-284.1.1.rt14.285.el9_2.x86_64

The cause was identified as mix of packages, where some have installonlypkg Provides and some don't.

The Provides is missing in Fedora meta package too:

rpm -qp --provides ./kernel-6.3.0-0.rc2.20230315git6015b1ac.25.fc39.x86_64.rpm

kernel = 6.3.0-0.rc2.20230315git6015b1ac.25.fc39 kernel(x86-64) = 6.3.0-0.rc2.20230315git6015b1ac.25.fc39

Tested: With RHEL 9.2 kernel-rt build patched and installed, install of new 9.3 kernel-rt works.
