Subject: [PATCH] checkpatch: match more world writable permissions

Currently checkpatch will fuss if one uses world writable
settings in debugfs files and DEVICE_ATTR uses by testing
S_IWUGO but not testing S_IWOTH, S_IRWXUGO or S_IALLUGO.

Extend the check to catch all cases exporting world writable
permissions including octal values.
