Linking libatomic.so is required only for 32-bit ARMR operating systems，but redundant on 64-bit systems. If libatomic.so not provided on 64-bit systems, it will lead to compilie failure.

@LockLi do you mind trying a newer redis (6.2)? i see that we do have successful build for arm64 https://launchpad.net/~redislabs/+archive/ubuntu/redis/+build/21431153
although i do see that the makefile for 5.0.8 and 6.2 is similar in that respect. @yossigo FYI.

Same result while compiling redis-6.2.0, because libatomic.so is not existed in my machine.

Can empirically confirm that it's indeed not needed on an aarch64 board I got here, apparently only needed for atomic ops implementation on arm32.
