Subject[PATCH 2/2] kbuild: make W=1 warn files that are tracked but ignored by git
Date
The top .gitignore comments about how to detect files breaking
.gitignore rules, but people rarely care about it.

Add a new W=1 warning to detect files that are tracked but ignored by
git. If git is not installed or the source tree is not tracked by git
at all, this script does not print anything.

Running it on the v6.1 kernel detected the following:

$ make W=1 misc-check
Documentation/devicetree/bindings/.yamllint: warning: ignored by one of the .gitignore files
drivers/clk/.kunitconfig: warning: ignored by one of the .gitignore files
drivers/gpu/drm/tests/.kunitconfig: warning: ignored by one of the .gitignore files
drivers/hid/.kunitconfig: warning: ignored by one of the .gitignore files
fs/ext4/.kunitconfig: warning: ignored by one of the .gitignore files
fs/fat/.kunitconfig: warning: ignored by one of the .gitignore files
kernel/kcsan/.kunitconfig: warning: ignored by one of the .gitignore files
lib/kunit/.kunitconfig: warning: ignored by one of the .gitignore files
mm/kfence/.kunitconfig: warning: ignored by one of the .gitignore files
tools/testing/selftests/arm64/tags/.gitignore: warning: ignored by one of the .gitignore files
tools/testing/selftests/arm64/tags/Makefile: warning: ignored by one of the .gitignore files
tools/testing/selftests/arm64/tags/run_tags_test.sh: warning: ignored by one of the .gitignore files
tools/testing/selftests/arm64/tags/tags_test.c: warning: ignored by one of the .gitignore files

These are ignored by the '.*' or 'tags' in the top .gitignore, but
there is no rule to negate it.

You might be tempted to do 'git add -f' but I want to have the real
issue fixed (by fixing a .gitignore, or by renaming files, etc.).
