[PATCH] checkpatch: check for incorrect permissions

[Rabin Vincent]

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.
