[PATCH] MAINTAINERS: Add linux-api for review of API/ABI changes

[Josh Triplett]

This makes it more likely that patch submitters will CC API/ABI changes
to the linux-api list, and tools like get_maintainer.pl will do so
automatically.

Every little bit helps, I guess. However, what I think would make a difference
is if if people constantly posted reminders to CC linux-api when they see API/API
changes on the lists. (And the reminders should of course CC linux-api).

	"S:	Odd Fixes"
line too.
