[RFC PATCH] selftests/mm: use pattern matching in .gitignore

[pratmal@google.com]

From: Pratyush Mallick <pratmal@google.com>

The current .gitignore hardcodes each generated test binary by name,
requiring updates every time a new test is added.

Switch to the patten-matching approach similar to KVM:selftests.
Ignore everything by default and then allow source extensions (.c, .h, .sh)
and tracked non-source files.
