chattr fails sometimes in ansible 2.4

[Kevin Carter]

When running the galera server playbook the chattr command fails sometimes which is happening within the lineinfile module when we edit /etc/services

Example error - http://paste.openstack.org/show/663612/

looks like this is just an issue with ansible 2.4.2, once I upgraded to 2.4.3 everything seems to be fine.
