runtime: skip wakep call in wakeNetPoller on Plan 9

This was part of a performance improvement made by CL 232298 to
reduce timer latency. On multiprocessor Plan 9 machines, it triggers
memory faults often enough that the builder test suite never completes
successfully. See issue #42303 for discussion. As shown by the benchmark
result below, worst case latency on plan9_arm is very bad even with the
wakep call in place - in the tickers-per-P=1 case, a 3ms timer is 270ms late.
Skipping the wakep call and running the benchmark again shows some cases
worse, some better. The performance cost doesn't seem excessive for this
temporary workaround which makes the plan9_arm builders usable again.

With wakep call:
