I've fixed this by matching for the filename in the diff line only when
it's "diff --git".  Also prevented a double-print of the "do not modify
file in include/asm" error.

Subject: [PATCHv2] checkpatch: check for incorrect permissions

Throw an error when a source file has been given execute permissions
using the mode change line present in git diffs.  Also alow the filename
matching to use the "diff" line in addition to the "+++" line, since the
mode change lines appear before any "+++" lines.
