Hi, please consider the following changes:

On AArch64, the `acquire` bool argument of the `safepoint_poll()` method is removed, as the load-acquire `ldar` instruction in the `safepoint_poll()` implementation is not needed completely. It was used for observing the disarmed value when VMThread was used to disarm the Java threads, but currently JavaThreads disarm themselves. 

Tested in tiers 1 - 4.
