[JDK-8240696](https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8240696) added the native method for `Reference.clear`. The original patch skipped intrinsification of this method, because we thought `Reference.clear` is not on a performance sensitive path. However, it shows up prominently on simple benchmarks that touch e.g. `ThreadLocal` cleanups. See the bug for an example profile with `RRWL` benchmarks.
