Subject: [PATCH v1 3/3] MAINTAINERS: xen, kvm: track pvclock-abi.h changes

This file defines an ABI shared between guest and hypervisor(s)
(KVM, Xen) and as such there should be an correspondent entry in
MAINTAINERS file. Notice that there's already a text notice at the
top of the header file, hence this commit simply enforces it more
explicitly and have both peers noticed when such changes happen.

This was suggested by folks at xen-devel as we missed some of the
ABI additions (e.g. flags field in pvti, TSC stable bit) - so this
patch is to help preventing that from happening. Alternatively I
could instead add a "PVCLOCK ABI" section in this file with the
two mailing lists.
