RSYNC package update breaks usage of relative paths in --files-from option

Issue

• The recent fix to RSYNC for CVE-2022-29154 (rsync-3.1.2-11.el7_9) causes the --files-from with relative paths in file list to not copy.

   # cat /tmp/testdir/files_list
        ../testdir/file8.txt         ## Relative paths in --files-from option. 
        ../testdir/file7.txt

   # rsync -av --partial --files-from=/tmp/testdir/files_list /tmp/testdir/ root@rhel79:/tmp/
   root@rhel79's password:
      rsync: link_stat "/tmp/testdir/testdir/file8.txt" failed: No such file or directory (2)
      rsync: link_stat "/tmp/testdir/testdir/file7.txt" failed: No such file or directory (2)
