Support attribute used in member funcs of class templates

Summary:
As PR17480 describes, clang does not support the used attribute
for member functions of class templates. This means that if the member
function is not used, its definition is never instantiated. This patch
changes clang to emit the definition if it has the used attribute.

Test Plan: Added a testcase
