[PATCH RFC 9/9] MAINTAINERS: add an entry for the LZ4 compression library

lib/lz4/ has never had one: get_maintainer.pl returns only the LKML
fallback for every file in it, including include/linux/lz4.h, which eight
subsystems build against.

This matters more now than it did. With the previous patches lib/lz4 is
vendored upstream sources, and someone has to bump them to new upstream
releases and decide what the kernel-side glue may do. I am willing to do
that, so add myself as its maintainer.
