get_maintainer.pl: fix inexact file pattern matching
The intent of file pattern matches is to exactly specify a file pattern
with or without wildcard **, *, or ? expansion.
The pattern match code failed to include a trailing $ to match the end of
the pattern.
A pattern like:
F: include/drm/drm
would match files like include/drm/drm_<foo>
Fix it and the self-test code too.
