Use the monorepo's lockfile when building cargo for PGO profiling

Fixes rust-lang#81378. The description of the problem and the reasoning for the fix is in the source code comments.

+# The Cargo repository does not have a Cargo.lock in it, as it relies on the
+# lockfile already present in the rust-lang/rust monorepo. This decision breaks
+# down when Cargo is built outside the monorepo though (like in this case),
+# resulting in a build without any dependency locking.
+#
+# To ensure Cargo is built with locked dependencies even during PGO profiling
+# the following command copies the monorepo's lockfile into the Cargo temporary
+# directory. Cargo will *not* keep that lockfile intact, as it will remove all
+# the dependencies Cargo itself doesn't rely on. Still, it will prevent
+# building Cargo with arbitrary dependency versions.
