locking/atomics: Check atomic headers with sha1sum


We currently check the atomic headers at build-time to ensure they
haven't been modified directly, and these checks require regenerating
the headers in full. As this takes a few seconds, even when
parallelized, this is too slow to run for every kernel build.

Instead, we can generate a hash of each header as we generate them,
which we can cheaply check at build time (~0.16s for all headers).

This patch does so, updating headers with their hashes using the new
gen-atomics.sh script. As some users apparently build the kernel wihout
coreutils, lacking sha1sum, the checks are skipped in this case.
Presumably, most developers have a working coreutils installation.
