get_maintainers.pl: Avoid THE_REST when files are added or removed

When files are added or removed /dev/null is used as a place
holder name in the patch for the absent file.  Don't try and
find a MAINTAINER for this place holder, it only ever flags
and then spams THE REST, behaviour for a real filename is
unchanged.
