x86/cpu: Use indirect call to measure performance in init_amd_k6()
This old piece of code is supposed to measure the performance of indirect
calls to determine if the processor is buggy or not, however the compiler
optimizer turns it into a direct call.
Use the OPTIMIZER_HIDE_VAR() macro to thwart the optimization, so that a real
indirect call is generated.
