backports: always use absolute path to output directory, less probability of pycocci...

While running gentree.py I got error messages such as 'Failed to
process SmPL patch
collateral-evolutions/generic/0001-group-attr/0001-group_attr_class.cocci',
due to incorrect path handling. This patch always makes gentree always
call pycocci with the absolute path to the output directory.
