Commands like svwaitup(8) sometimes work on the same directory
for several iterations.

If the service directories are relative (ie ./svc) rather than
absolute (ie /service/svc), then the subsequent iteration on the
same directory will fail.

Here is a simple patch for svwaitup(8). Others are similar.
