Subject: [PATCH] MAINTAINERS: Add security/Kconfig.hardening to hardening
 section

When running get_maintainer.pl on security/Kconfig.hardening, only the
security subsystem folks show up, even though they have never taken
patches to this file:

  $ scripts/get_maintainer.pl security/Kconfig.hardening
  Paul Moore <...> (supporter:SECURITY SUBSYSTEM)
  James Morris <...> (supporter:SECURITY SUBSYSTEM)
  "Serge E. Hallyn" <...> (supporter:SECURITY SUBSYSTEM)
  linux-security-module@...r.kernel.org (open list:SECURITY SUBSYSTEM)
  linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org (open list)

  $ git log --format=%cn --no-merges security/Kconfig.hardening | sort | uniq -c
        3 Andrew Morton
        1 Greg Kroah-Hartman
       18 Kees Cook
        2 Linus Torvald

Add it to the hardening section so that the KSPP folks are also shown,
which matches reality over who should comment on and take said patches
if necessary.
