vger.kernel.org often drops my email when the CC list is too long. So I
try to keep the list short. In this case, since we are not changing live
patch code, and there isn't any negative impact for live patch side, I
didn't CC live patch folks.

I will at least CC live-patching@ in the next version.

Thanks,
Song

PS: I am the live patch guy at Meta. :)
