[ARM] 3097/1: change library link ordering

Patch from Nicolas Pitre

We have an optimized sha1 routine (arch/arm/lib/sha1.S) meant to
override the generic one in lib/sha1.c.

Unfortunately lib/lib.a is listed _before_ arch/arm/lib/lib.a in the
link argument list and therefore the architecture specific lib functions
are not picked up before the generic versions.

This patch is a quick fix to change that ordering for ARM.  Here's what
the kbuild maintainer had to say about it (was also CC'd on lkml):
