Fix ssh mux socket file error.

ssh ControlPath socket file needs to be unique for each host.
To avoid using ssh ControlPath option placeholders move socket file
to host's temp directory. Since each host has unique temp
directory then, although file name for socket file is fixed, its path
is unique.
