Since userspace headers were moved to generated/uapi it possible to have a 
stale copy
of linux/version.h at that file's old location. This causes confusion after 
building
an older kernel version, then checking out and building a new one; the old 
(stale)
version header will still get picked up until it is manually removed. This 
upsets the
C library.

Since the uapi changes, include/linux/version.h is no longer generated and 
should not
be ignored, so this patch removes it from .gitignore.
