cpu_relax on ARM64 does a simple "yield". Thus we replace it with
smp_cond_load_relaxed which basically does a "wfe".

Doesn't this make ARCH_HAS_CPU_RELAX a complete misnomer?
This controls the build of poll_state.c and the generic definition of
smp_cond_load_relaxed (used by x86) is using cpu_relax(). Do you propose
other approach here?
