Unfortunately MAINTAINERS and get_maintainer are often useless in
selftests.  In this case, I expect the people who wrote and work on the
pkey tests don't know that this patchset exists!

Poking around with git-blame or git-log
tools/testing/selftests/mm/pkey* will show who should be cc'ed.

So can I ask that you figure that out and send out a v8?

(Sashiko likes the patchset, btw)
