tools/memory-model: Use "-unroll 0" to keep --hw runs finite

Litmus tests involving atomic operations produce LL/SC loops on a number
of architectures, and unrolling these loops can result in excessive
verification times or even stack overflows.  This commit therefore uses
the "-unroll 0" herd7 argument to avoid unrolling, on the grounds that
additional passes through an LL/SC loop should not change the verification.

Note however, that certain bugs in the mapping of the LL/SC loop to
machine instructions may go undetected.  On the other hand, herd7 might
not be the best vehicle for finding such bugs in any case.  (You do
stress-test your architecture-specific code, don't you?)
