[PATCH 8/8] gen_hosts: drop sudo become on inventory owner refresh

[Daniel Gomez <da.gomez@kernel.org>]

From: Daniel Gomez <da.gomez@samsung.com>

The inventory file is written by the same controller-side play
that later refreshes its owner and group, and the refresh task
sets owner to the current user and group to the current user's
primary group - i.e. it chowns the file to its own owner.

The task nevertheless wrapped that no-op in become_method: sudo
+ become_flags: "su - -c", and that combination fails at sudo
invocation time with:

  /bin/sh: line 1: root: command not found

The failure was masked by the task being guarded on the inventory
file already existing, so it never fired on a freshly rendered
tree.

Drop the become block. The chown runs under the user the file
already belongs to, and the gen_hosts role no longer depends on
passwordless sudo on the control node.
