smp_cond_load_relaxed(), in its generic polling variant, polls on
the loop condition waiting for it to change, eventually exiting
the loop if the time limit has been exceeded.

To limit the frequency of the relatively expensive time check it
is limited to once every POLL_IDLE_RELAX_COUNT iterations.

arm64, however, uses an event based mechanism where instead of
polling, we wait for a store to a region.

Limit the POLL_IDLE_RELAX_COUNT to 1 for that case.
