Because the pattern is just the files in the top level directory
of drivers/cpuidle and not any files in any directory below

>From the MAINTAINERS pattern descriptions:

	F: Files and directories with wildcard patterns.
	   A trailing slash includes all files and subdirectory files.
	   F:	drivers/net/	all files in and below
drivers/net
	   F:	drivers/net/*	all files in drivers/net, but
not below

Nope, the MAINTAINERS - CPUIDLE DRIVERS entry does though.
