[PATCH] checkpatch: Fix MAINTAINERS search pattern

From: Derek Chickles
Date: Thu Dec 18 2014 - 15:27:30 EST


This fixes the check that was supposed to prevent the MAINTAINERS
warning from appearing when you run checkpatch.pl on a patch that
includes new files/directories and an updated MAINTAINERS file.
