require_relative and require should be compatible with each other when symlinked files are used

Description

This is similar to #10222 (which was fixed), but it's with symlinked files. #10222 was with symlinked directories.

If files are symlinked, then mixing require and require_relative can result in the same file being loaded twice.

mkdir a
echo "require_relative 'b'" > a/a.rb
echo "p 'b loaded'" > a/b.rb
mkdir b
ln -s ../a/a.rb b
ln -s ../a/b.rb b
echo "$: << File.expand_path('../b', __FILE__); require 'b'; require 'a'" > c.rb
ruby c.rb

Expected behavior is that this prints "b loaded" once. Actual behavior is that it prints "b loaded" twice.
