[OE-core] [PATCH 0/2] fix can't login when debug-tweaks is not in IMAGE_FEATURES

[ChenQi]

We could make use of EXTRA_USERS_PARAMS here.
More details are in meta/classes/extrausers.bbclass.

I haven't tested it myself, but maybe lines below could work:
INHERIT += "extrausers"
EXTRA_USERS_PARAMS = "\
usermod -p 'root' root; \
"

This info could also be found in local.conf.sample.extended.

Best Regards,
Chen Qi
