[Bug 1770248] [NEW] console-setup fails intermittently due to a missing file in /tmp

[Dan Watkins]

Public bug reported:

In our testing of cloud images, we intermittently see an error along the
lines of:

May 09 17:59:27 ubuntu setupcon[476]: /bin/setupcon: 809: /bin/setupcon:
cannot open /tmp/tmpkbd.7L3GEu: No such file

This only happens from time-to-time which suggests that it's a race
condition.
