Thank you for tracking this and kindly Cc-ing me!  I'd like to clarify a little
bit more, though.  The permission change has made by the commit as you found.
Nevertheless, the submitted version[1] of the patch didn't change the
permission.  I guess the change was made while managing it via some file
permission unsupported patches management tool.

I had a similar issue with DAMON selftest and sent a patch restoring the
permission.  Greg suggested me to update the framework instead, to support such
management tool[2], so I made it[3].  It recently also merged into 5.15.y for
DAMON selftests[4].

I have no strong opinion about whether we need to keep the permission or it's
good to have no execute permission since kselftest framework supports it.  I
just wanted to clarify the events I've shown.  Please correct me if I missed or
wrong something.  Cc-ing Greg, since he might have an opinion.
