False positive in reboot detection with kernel symlink

[Vogtinator]

Describe the bug Tumbleweed recently moved the kernel from /boot to /usr, and thus vmlinuz-* is a symlink to the kernel's modules directory. This triggers a false positive in Lynis.

Version

• Distribution [e.g. Ubuntu 18.04]: openSUSE Tumbleweed
• Lynis version [e.g. 2.7.0]: 3.0.6

Expected behavior Lynis should not show that a reboot is needed.
