I marked that script executable:
6bc3fe8e7e17 ("tools: mark 'test_vmalloc.sh' executable")
although perhaps the better fix would have been to explicitly use the
shell to start it in the 'run_vmtests' script instead?
We have a lot of files that aren't marked executable, probably because
they came in as (or were generated as) non-git patches. Often through
Andrew's workflow.
But most of them don't seem to matter, because they get run using
explicit script engines. So I only fixed up this one case.
