KDUMP_COMMANDLINE: remove irqpoll parameter on aws aarch64 platform

Browse Source 
Currently, kdump may experience failure on some aws aarch64 platform.
The final scenario is:

    [   79.145089] printk: console [ttyS0] disabled
Then the system has no response any more. And after reboot, there is no
vmcore generated under /var/crash/. More detail [1].

In a short word, it is caused by the irqpoll policy and some unknown
acpi issue. The serial device is hot-removed as a pci device.

More detailed, the irqpoll policy demands to iterate over all interrupt
handler, if the interrupt line is shared, then the handler is
dispatched. And acpi handler acpi_irq() is on a shared interrupt line,
so it is called.  But for some unknown reason, the acpi hardware regs
hold wrong state, and the acpi driver decides that a hot-removed event
happens on a pci slot, which finally removes the pci serial device.

To tackle this issue by removing the irqpoll parameter on aws aarch64
platform, until the real root cause in acpi is found and resolved.
