Subject: [PATCH] checkpatch: check for incorrect permissions

Throw an error when a source file has been given execute permissions
using the mode change line present in git diffs. Also alow the filename
matching to use the "diff" line in addition to the "+++" line, since the
mode change lines appear before any "+++" lines.

Breakage. This causes the false warning:

WARNING: patch prefix 'drivers' exists, appears to be a -p0 patch

to be emitted when processing the below patch:

copy_to_user() returns the number of bytes remaining but we want to return
a negative error code on errors.

I've fixed this by matching for the filename in the diff line only when
it's "diff --git". Also prevented a double-print of the "do not modify
file in include/asm" error.

That one looks better. I've pull this updated one (slightly modified)
into my tree.

Andrew, will send you this shortly.
