PATCH 7/7 MAINTAINERS: update information for sfc network driver

Update the current maintainers and add our email addresses. Robert Stonehouse has moved on to other projects.

Move the linux-net-drivers alias to the top since it should always reach the current maintainers at Solarflare. Add netdev as the relevant mailing list.

Hi Ben

This form: "M: bare address (extra stuff)" doesn't work
with the get_maintainers script.

Can you please use something like this instead?
