Subject: get_maintainer: allow keywords to match filenames
Allow K: entries in MAINTAINERS to match directly against filenames;
either those extracted from patch +++ or --- lines, or those specified on
the command-line using the -f option.
This potentially allows fewer lines in a MAINTAINERS entry, if all the
relevant files are scattered throughout the whole kernel tree, yet contain
some common keyword. An example would be using an ARM SoC name as the
keyword to catch all related drivers.
I don't think setting exact_pattern_match_hash would be appropriate here;
at least for intended Tegra use case, this feature is to ensure that all
Tegra-related driver changes get Cc'd to the Tegra mailing list. Setting
exact_pattern_match_hash would prevent git history parsing for e.g. S-o-b
tags, which still seems like it would be useful. Hence, this flag isn't
set.
