The following two uses of get_maintainer.pl should return the
same results, but do not:

  $ ./scripts/get_maintainer.pl -f ./hw/net/vmxnet3.c
  get_maintainer.pl: No maintainers found, printing recent contributors.
  get_maintainer.pl: Do not blindly cc: them on patches!  Use common sense.

  $ ./scripts/get_maintainer.pl -f hw/net/vmxnet3.c
  Dmitry Fleytman <[email protected]> (maintainer:VMware)
  Jason Wang <[email protected]> (odd fixer:Network devices)
  [email protected] (open list:All patches CC here)

In the former case, the leading "./" needs to be removed before
trying to find a filename match.

Blindly stripping the "./" is valid because the script already
enforces that it is run from the QEMU git root directory, so
canonicalizing the filename vs $CWD is not required.
