Subject: checkpatch: reduce MAINTAINERS update message frequency
When files are being added/moved/deleted and a patch contains an update to
the MAINTAINERS file, assume it's to update the MAINTAINERS file correctly
and do not emit the "does MAINTAINERS need updating?" message.
Reported by many people.
