JDK-8337657 - AArch64: No need for acquire fence in safepoint poll during JNI calls
Description
For the same reason acquire in safepoint_poll was removed for calls in JNI, is it also not needed for FFM.

As the "acquire" parameter in safepoint_poll will subsequently always be passed "false" the parameter can be removed, as an acquire is never needed.
