Commit b753522bed0b7 ("kho: add test for kexec handover") introduced the
KHO test but missed adding it to KHO's MAINTAINERS entry. Add it so the
KHO maintainers can get patches for its test.

Why is this a patch for stable trees?

If someone finds a problem with this test in a stable kernel, they will
know who to contact.

Contacting developers/maintainers should always be done on the latest
kernel release, not on older stable kernels as fixes need to ALWAYS be
done on Linus's tree first.
Please don't force us to attempt to keep MAINTAINERS changes in sync in
stable kernel trees, that way lies madness and even more patches that
you would be forcing me to handle :)
thanks,

Okay, my bad. Feel free to ignore this patch then. And I will keep that
in mind the next time around.
Andrew, can you please drop the "Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org" when you
apply?
