Subject: [PATCH] kbuild: remove RCS_TAR_IGNORE

This reverts the 20-year-old commit [1], hard-coding '--exclude .git'
instead of '--exclude CVS'.

RCS_TAR_IGNORE is used for packaging the mainline kernel, so I cannot
imagine other version control systems would be used.

I keep RCS_FIND_IGNORE because it is used for external modules, e.g.
'make clean M=...', where git may not be used.
