[scarthgap] Fix create_merged_usr_symlinks in image.bbclass

Modifying FILESYSTEM_PERMS_TABLES does not change the UID and GID of
/usr/bin

I modified create_merged_usr_symlinks and
moved its execution order back

Is this also an issue in the master branch?  If so, you will need to
submit this patch for master first before I can take it for the
scarthgap branch.

Thanks!
