utility-tasks: Set T to alternate location during do_clean

[Richard Purdie]

There is a race where do_clean tries to clean WORKDIR but there are logfiles
written into ${T} by bitbake and this can lead to exceptions due to open files.

The easiest solution is to redirect T to a different location for the do_clean
task, hence avoiding the errors and also allowing the logfiles to be visible
somewhere. ${LOG_DIR} seems an appropriate place for this.
