linux-kselftest-5.6-rc5

This Kselftest update for Linux 5.6-rc5 consists of a cleanup patch
to undo changes to global .gitignore that added selftests/lkdtm
objects and add them to a local selftests/lkdtm/.gitignore.

Summary of Linus's comments on local vs. global gitignore scope:

- Keep local gitignore patterns in local files.
- Put only global gitignore patterns in the top-level gitignore file.

Local scope keeps things much better separated. It also incidentally
means that if a directory gets renamed, the gitignore file continues
to work unless in the case of renaming the actual files themselves that
are named in the gitignore.
