Hi Dave,

The SGX selftests can fail for a bunch of non-obvious reasons
like 'noexec' permissions on /dev (which is the default *EVERYWHERE*
it seems).

A new test mistakenly also looked for +x permission on the
/dev/sgx_enclave.  File execute permissions really only apply to
the ability of execve() to work on a file, *NOT* on the ability
for an application to map the file with PROT_EXEC.  SGX needs to
mmap(PROT_EXEC), but doesn't need to execve() the device file.

Remove the check.

Thank you very much for fixing this. With this applied the SGX tests are able to run again on my system.

I think it is missing a "Signed-off-by".
