svn commit: r230495 - head/usr.sbin/jail

[Martin Matuska]

New Revision: 230495
URL: http://svn.freebsd.org/changeset/base/230495

Log:
  Try resolving jail path with realpath(3).
  
  jail(8) does a chdir(2) to the given path argument. Kernel evaluates the
  jail path from the new cwd and not from the original cwd, which leads to
  undesired behavior if given a relative path.
