Subject: [PATCH] tools/power/acpi: exclude tools/* from .gitignore pattern

tools/power/acpi/.gitignore has the following entries:

  acpidbg
  acpidump
  ec

They are intended to ignore the following build artifacts:

  tools/power/acpi/acpidbg
  tools/power/acpi/acpidump
  tools/power/acpi/ec

However, those .gitignore entries are effective not only for the
current directory, but also for any sub-directories.

So, the following directories are also considered to be ignored:

  tools/power/acpi/tools/acpidbg
  tools/power/acpi/tools/acpidump
  tools/power/acpi/tools/ec

They are obviously version-controlled, so should be excluded from the
.gitignore patterns.

You can fix it by prefixing the patterns with '/', which means they
are only effective in the current directory.

I also prefixed the "include" consistently. IMHO, '/' prefixing is
safer when you intend to ignore specific files or directories.
