The default path of ntp drift file is /etc/ntp.drift, ntp daemon
maybe fails to create this file since the user ntp is not always
permitted to write /etc.

Refer to other distributions such as RedHat, Debian, just moving
the file to /var/lib/ntp which the home dir of user ntp.

Note that this new version depends on http://patches.openembedded.org/patch/81585/ which provides the packaging of ntp's home directory, which wasn't captured into master-next. That would be obscured by the presence of the previous version of this patch which (IMO) improperly uses volatile to create that directory.
