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

Checked on x86_64-linux-gnu.
