From: Wenzong Fan <wenzong.fan at windriver.com>

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.
