-p option to cp was preserving original ownership of these files which
is actually same as build user
we were doing chown operation but it was escaping some of these files
especially these .tmp files
aside from this, why these tmp files are left in transition needs more
investigation meanwhile this
fix makes sure that we do not preserve the ownership when installing
into staging sysroot.
