=head3   update_tables_with_diskless_image
       This function is called after a diskless image is created by packimage.
    It'll writes the newimage info into the osimage and the linuximage tables.
    Arguments:
        osver
        arch
        profile
    Returns:
        an array (retcode, errmsg). The first one is the return code. If 0, it means succesful.
