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.
