[Google] Fix test failure after porting __gcov_get_profile_prefix from google/4_7

When absolute path is specified for the object file, no prefix will be
prepended to the gcda path. If you record the cwd as in the
_gcov_profile_prefix variable, at profile dump time, the prefix will
be wrong -- as it is never used.
