[PATCH v2] linux: make getcwd(3) fail if it cannot obtain an absolute path [BZ #22679]


As the underlying getcwd syscall, starting with linux commit
v2.6.36-rc1~96^2~2, may succeed without returning an absolute path,
check for the path returned by syscall and fall back to generic_getcwd
if the path is not absolute.

[BZ #22679]
* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/getcwd.c (__getcwd): Fall back to
generic_getcwd if the path returned by getcwd syscall is not absolute.
* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/tst-getcwd-abspath.c: New test.
* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/Makefile (tests): Add tst-getcwd-abspath.
