Bug Description

$ lsb_release -rd
Description: Ubuntu 16.04 LTS
Release: 16.04

$ apt-cache policy s390-tools
s390-tools:
  Installed: 1.34.0-0ubuntu8.1
  Candidate: 1.34.0-0ubuntu8.1

When benign options such as --help or --version are passed to a command that is installed with world execute permission, the error should not complain about write permission, as no write should be necessary.
    ubuntu@s5lp1-gen01:~$ ls -l /sbin/cio_ignore
    -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 16452 Jun 9 13:50 /sbin/cio_ignore

Such options should generate the expected output or an error should be generated expressing the command must be run as root. The unexpected output is shown here:

    ubuntu@s5lp1-gen01:~$ /sbin/cio_ignore --help
    cio_ignore: Error: missing write permission for /proc/cio_ignore
