RefreshControl Position Bug

Summary:
Refresh bug #7976
This bug has persisted for 3 versions of React Native.   Currently everyone is having to do a silly fix, documented in the bug.   I spent an hour trying to find the source of the bug.   Failing to find the issue quickly, I've just decided to make this simple bugfix.

According to janicduplessis #7976 we will likely be re-writing this control in iOS 10.
Closes https://github.com/facebook/react-native/pull/9249
