Subject: scripts/get_maintainer.pl: fix possible infinite loop
From: Joe Perches <joe@xxxxxxxxxxx>
If MAINTAINERS section entries are misformatted, it was possible to have
an infinite loop.
Correct the defect by always moving the index to the end of section + 1
Also, exit check for exclude as soon as possible.
