This change symlinks our user patches into the image install
destination. It fixes an issue with portage when installing binpkgs
which breaks the image build:
!!! The following binary packages have been ignored due to user patches:
net-misc/wget-1.25.0-r3 for /home/sdk/trunk/src/build/images/arm64-usr/developer-9999.0.6104+github-4348-a1/dev-image-rootfs/
...
!!! All binary packages that could satisfy "net-misc/wget" for /home/sdk/trunk/src/build/images/arm64-usr/developer-9999.0.6104+github-4348-a1/dev-image-rootfs/ have been masked.

What's wrong with cherry-picking? 😝
