Description of problem:
In RDO upstream, we deploy OpenStack clouds with mariadb 10.1.x.

Since MariaDB 10.1.21 [1], mysqld_safe relies on a helper subprocess to write into log files. This new logging mechanism expects log file to be writable by the user configured to run mysqld.

When the galera resource agent attempts to bootstrap the galera cluster, it requests mysqld_safe to output replication information into a temporary file   
 own by root. This does not work anymore because mysql doesn't have rights to write to that file.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
resource-agents-3.9.5-105.el7_4.3.x86_64

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install mariadb 10.1.30 from RDO
2. Create a galera resource in pacemaker

Actual results:
mysql servers can't be started because the resource agent doesn't get the replication information out of mysqld_safe.
