[merged] get_maintainer-exclude-maintainers-files-from-git-fallback.patch removed from -mm tree

[akpm]

The patch titled
     Subject: get_maintainer: exclude MAINTAINERS file(s) from --git-fallback
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     get_maintainer-exclude-maintainers-files-from-git-fallback.patch

This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree

------------------------------------------------------
From: Joe Perches <joe@perches.com>
Subject: get_maintainer: exclude MAINTAINERS file(s) from --git-fallback

MAINTAINERS files generally have no specific maintainer but are updated by
individuals for subsystems all over the source tree.

Exclude MAINTAINERS file(s) from --git-fallback searches so the unlucky
individuals that update the files the most are not shown by default.
