Subject: MAINTAINERS: Remove asterisk from EFI directory names

commit e8dfe6d8f6762d515fcd4f30577f7bfcf7659887 upstream.

Mark reported that having asterisks on the end of directory names
confuses get_maintainer.pl when it encounters subdirectories, and that
my name does not appear when run on drivers/firmware/efi/libstub.
