Subject: [PATCH v2 3/4] tools headers UAPI: add cpu_relax() implementation for x86 and arm64

As x86 and arm64 is the two available systems that I can build
and test the cpu_relax() implementation, so only add cpu_relax()
implementation for x86 and arm64, other arches can be added easily
when needed.
