The RDTSC instruction, which was introduced in the Intel Pentium,
has been used in MariaDB for a long time. But, the __rdtsc()
wrapper is not available by default in some x86 build environments.
The simplest solution seems to replace the inlined instruction
with a call to the wrapper function my_timer_cycles(). The overhead
for the call should not affect the measurement threshold.

On Windows and on AMD64, we will keep using __rdtsc() directly.
