SubjectRe: [PATCH] lib/sha1: use the git implementation of SHA-1

Ok, I'll remove it for -rc1, just to have a working ARM setup. Maybe
we can re-introduce it later (either together with some arm-specific
hack for SHA_WORKSPACE_WORDS or by having an arm-optimized version of
the *good* sha1 routine).

But I doubt it: there used to be an ARM-optimized thing in git too. It
was removed two years ago with the commit message:

remove ARM and Mozilla SHA1 implementations

They are both slower than the new BLK_SHA1 implementation, so it is
pointless to keep them around.

and quite frankly, that removed code seems to be the same as the
in-kernel one. So I bet the ARM "optimized" SHA1 is simply not worth
keeping around.
