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.

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.
