[PATCH] MAINTAINERS: extend file entry in KHO to include subdirectories

Commit 3498209ff64e ("Documentation: add documentation for KHO") adds the
file entry for 'Documentation/core-api/kho/*'. The asterisk in the end
means that all files in kho are included, but not files in its
subdirectories below.
Hence, the files under Documentation/core-api/kho/bindings/ are not
considered part of KHO, and get_maintainers.pl does not necessarily add the
KHO maintainers to the recipients of patches to those files. Probably, this
is not intended, though, and it was simply an oversight of the detailed
semantics of such file entries.

Make the file entry to include the subdirectories of
Documentation/core-api/kho/.
