diff: fails with absolute file paths (2.10.0 ok, 2.11.0 fails)
# Bug Report

## Description

`dvc diff` with absolute paths fail as dvc can't find the path in the repository. Relative paths still work.
This bug was introduce with changes between version 2.10.0 and 2.11.0.

### Reproduce

```bash
pip install dvc==2.11.0

# Init git and dvc
mkdir dvc_test
cd dvc_test
git init
dvc init


# Add empty file with git tag
touch test_file.txt
git add .
git commit -m "initital commit"
git tag first_tag


# Change file and add new commit
echo "1234" > test_file.txt
git add .
git commit -m "second commit"


# Test dvc diff's

dvc diff --targets ./test_file.txt -- HEAD
# Result: Nothing with exitcode 0 (as expected)

dvc diff --targets ~/dvc_test/test_file.txt -- HEAD
# AND of course with user specific path
dvc diff --targets /home/andreas/dvc_test/test_file.txt -- HEAD
# Result:
# ERROR: failed to get diff - The path '/home/andreas/dvc_test/test_file.txt' does not exist in the target repository '/home/andreas/dvc_test' neither as a DVC output nor as a Git-tracked file.

### EXPECTED:

# Change to old dvc version works again
pip install dvc==2.10.0

dvc diff --targets ~/dvc_test/test_file.txt -- HEAD
# Result: Nothing with exitcode 0 (as expected)
```


### Expected
Absolute and relative paths work the same

### Environment information
dvc==2.11.0 -> Fails
dvc==2.10.0 -> OK
<!--
This is required to ensure that we can reproduce the bug.

**Additional Information (if any):**

Related issue but slightly different (here it is not about symlinks, just absolute links and not for dvc plots diff, just dvc diff but can be the same)
