From: John Hubbard <jhubbard@xxxxxxxxxx>
Subject: selftests/vm: fix an improper dependency upon executable script permissions
commit 30fb9454ab23 ("selftests/vm: hmm-tests: remove the libhugetlbfs
dependency") created the new check_config.sh file without the execute bit
set. This is a problem because that same commit caused the Makefile to
invoke it "./check_config.sh", so now "make" is failing in that directory.
Scripts are not supposed to depend on the executable bit being set,
because patch(1) doesn't set it, and using patch to install a kernel is
supported. Therefore, this fix involves two parts:
1) Invoke the new script via /bin/sh, to fix the problem, and
2) As an nice touch, make check_config.sh executable as well.
