sysbench: fix memory test

In sysbench version 0.4, the tmp variable used by the memory test to
execute requests is optimized by the compiler. Caching mechanism reduces
the direct accesses to the memory increasing the transfer speed. This
leads to false timing estimations that considerably affect read and
also random write operations.

In sysbench version 1, this issue is fixed adding the volatile modifier
to the tmp variable. This prevents compiler optimizations forcing a direct
access to the memory.

The final result is a realistic transfer speed measurement.
