[yocto] DEFAULT_PREFERENCE not working as expected

[Martin Jansa]

That's by (IMHO wrong) design:
https://bugzilla.yoctoproject.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2964

Instead of setting P_V 2.40 only for that single project which needs that
newer libsoup, you need to set P_V to 2.38 for every other project which is
using your layer.
