Commit fed9b26b2501 ("MAINTAINERS: Update KVM RISC-V entry to cover
selftests support") optimistically adds a file entry for
tools/testing/selftests/kvm/riscv/, but this directory does not exist.

Hence, ./scripts/get_maintainer.pl --self-test=patterns complains about a
broken reference. The script is very useful to keep MAINTAINERS up to date
and MAINTAINERS can be kept in a state where the script emits no warning.

So, just drop the non-matching file entry rather than starting to collect
exceptions of entries that may match in some close or distant future.
