Changing email address for Changbin.

A user reported:
'Use of uninitialized value $ENV{"LMC_KEEP"} in split at
 ./scripts/kconfig/streamline_config.pl line 596.'

so first check that $ENV{LMC_KEEP} is defined before trying
to use it.

Fixes: c027b02d89fd ("streamline_config.pl: add LMC_KEEP to preserve some kconfigs")
