[PATCH] get_maintainer.pl: support running from non-top-level dir

From: Peter Collingbourne
Date: Mon Sep 13 2021 - 19:34:50 EST


My workflow usually involves running scripts from a subdirectory of the
kernel source tree. This fails with get_maintainer.pl because it assumes
that it runs from the top level. Fix this assumption by setting $lk_path
appropriately based on a check of $0 similar to what is in checkpatch.pl.

This also requires fixing the VCS available checks to also check $lk_path.
