[yocto] Annoying "rerun to fix" bug for bitbake: task failed, but rerun can fix it.

[Jerry Lian]

So that is further tricky part:
* it may fail when finishing 20%, 40% 60%, 80%
* And the failure last time may not appear next time.
* So it just pop-up randomly

(By the way, I just build brand new PC with 16 threads CPU, 32G memory, and
install Ubuntu 16.4.3 with ESXI-6.5)
(so really confused)
