The reason to disable __clear_cache is incorrect in r244382 as it is a
builtin in clang, but calls into an external copy of __clear_cache. The
reason __clear_cache was disabled was because of a bug in clang where
it is unable to compile a builtin function, however I only found this
out recently.

The issue with clang has been fixed, and, as of r251791 __clear_cache
is enabled in compiler-rt.
