MAINTAINERS: Fix Intel TDX kernel file patterns

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

has_tdxe_auto_clear

for example, see

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

get_maintainer.pl adds the x86 gang to the Cc list for what obviously is
a completely unrelated patch due to the K pattern being overly broad.

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 (F:) wildcard
type patterns and group them by path, for less false positives.
