Subject: [PATCH] MAINTAINERS: Claim atomic*_t maintainership


Since Will and me have rewritten and heavily extended the atomic*_t
infrastructure over the past few years, claim ownership of it.

We would also like to add Boqun as he helped out with PowerPC and has shown
good understanding of these bits.

We would still defer to architecture maintainers on implementation details, but
we'd take care of the interface and cross architecture semantics of the
primitives.
