[PATCH] MAINTAINERS: Fix Intel TDX kernel file patterns

[Borislav Petkov]

A K: is a content regex file pattern which matches any text in a patch
so if a commit message contains "TDx" as in

  the TDxE (Transmit Data Empty) flag

for example, see

  https://lore.kernel.org/r/20261026-g2ul_sci-v3-3-b3097163edd5@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

get_maintainer.pl erroneously adds the x86 gang to the Cc list for what
obviously is a completely unrelated patch.

The same happens when someone uses it to check

  drivers/power/reset/tdx-ec-poweroff.c

patches.

So switch the x86 TDX patterns to files and directories (N:) type
patterns and group them by path, for less false positives.
