Executing selftests is fragile as if someone forgot to set a secript as executable the test will fail, and you won't know for sure if the failure was caused by the lack of proper permissions or something else. Setting scripts as executable is required, this also enable folks to execute selftests as independent units. Signed-off-by: Luis R.
