arm64: Implement cpu_relax as yield
ARM64 has the yield nop hint which has the intended semantics of
cpu_relax. Implement.
The immediate application is ARM CPU emulators. An emulator can take
advantage of the yield hint to de-prioritise an emulated CPU in favor
of other emulation tasks. QEMU A64 SMP emulation has yield awareness,
and sees a significant boot time performance increase with this change.
