It seems we're keeping a.out after all: https://lore.kernel.org/r/4c449fab-8135-5057-7d2c-7b948ce130cc@theinnocuous.com

Commit f9444ea5e208 ("x86: Remove a.out support") removes arch/x86/ia32/ia32_aout.c, but misses a reference to that file in MAINTAINERS. Hence, ./scripts/get_maintainer.pl --self-test=patterns complains about a broken reference. Drop the file entry to the removed file in EXEC & BINFMT API.
