Remove --disable-experimental-malloc option
It is the default since 2.26 and it has bitrotten over the years,
By using it multiple malloc tests fails:

  FAIL: malloc/tst-memalign-2
  FAIL: malloc/tst-memalign-2-malloc-hugetlb1
  FAIL: malloc/tst-memalign-2-malloc-hugetlb2
  FAIL: malloc/tst-memalign-2-mcheck

  FAIL: malloc/tst-tcfree2
  FAIL: malloc/tst-tcfree2-malloc-hugetlb1
  FAIL: malloc/tst-tcfree2-malloc-hugetlb2

Checked on x86_64-linux-gnu.

-'--disable-experimental-malloc'
-     By default, a per-thread cache is enabled in 'malloc'.  While this
-     cache can be disabled on a per-application basis using tunables
-     (set glibc.malloc.tcache_count to zero), this option can be used to
-     remove it from the build completely.

 '--disable-scv'
      Disable using 'scv' instruction for syscalls.  All syscalls will
      use 'sc' instead, even if the kernel supports 'scv'.  PowerPC only.
