[ Upstream commit 4896df9d53ae5521f3ce83751e828ad70bc65c80 ]
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.
