Actually, we made kselftest receives scripts having no executable bit[1],
though it still prints warning. I guess Yuanchu wants to remove the warning?

To remove the warning, simply making kselftest (runner.sh) stop printing the
warning message might make more sense. Nevertheless, it's also true that
letting some scripts have executable bits while others not looks inconsistent
to me. That's why I left the warning message there. Should we remove the
warning from kselftest and remove executable bits from other selftest test
scripts? Or, let the inconsistency be? I have no real opinion here, so just
wanted to hear others' opinion if possible.

BTW, similar issue is also in Kconfig's 'shell' macro. For example,
'runst-version.sh' on -mm tree bothered me before[2], and now
'pahole-version.sh'. I might make change in 'scrips/Kconfig/preprocess.c'
later.
