[patch 110/123] scripts/get_maintainer.pl: fix possible infinite loop

[Greg KH]

2.6.33-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

-----------------

From: Joe Perches <joe@xxxxxxxxxxx>

commit 3c840c18bcd8efb37f1a565e83a9509e1ea5d105 upstream.

If MAINTAINERS section entries are misformatted, it was possible to have
an infinite loop.

Correct the defect by always moving the index to the end of section + 1

Also, exit check for exclude as soon as possible.
