Controller does not survive VM reboots because logs directory becomes owned by root

[axiqia]

Environment details:

Vagrant 2.2.2
VirtualBox 5.2.22

I installed and deployed openwhisk on my VM, everything works, and after I halt and up my VM, container controller0 didn't restart.

Problem

$ wsk action invoke /whisk.system/utils/echo -p message hello --result

I've seen this - it has to do with the /tmp directory being wiped and then owned by root. I'm pretty sure it's because of the user mappings inside the container and the host. Suggested work around is to put the logs somewhere other than /tmp for now.
