compile_commands.json can be used with clangd to enable language server protocol-based assistance. For kernel itself this can be built with scripts/gen_compile_commands.py, but other projects (e.g., libbpf, or BPF selftests) can benefit from their own compilation database file, which can be generated successfully using external tools, like bear [0]. So, instead of adding compile_commands.json to .gitignore in respective individual projects, let's just ignore it globally anywhere in Linux repo. While at it, remove exactly such a local .gitignore rule under tools/power/cpupower.
