Subject: [PATCH] checkpatch: improve EXECUTE_PERMISSIONS tests

1. Use group capture regexp for file mode test to improve code
   readability.

2. The 'scripts/' directory test on filenames can be excluded
   as it has become obsolete because there are many source
   files that are not scripts in this directory and its
   subdirectories.

3. Replace unnecessary group capture regexp with non-capturing
   group.
