[PATCH] x86/kernel/cpu/amd.c: use indirect call

[Mikulas Patocka]

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 macro OPTIMIZER_HIDE_VAR to thwart the optimization, so that real 
indirect call is generated.
