[PATCH] tcg: Fix documentation for tcg_constant_* vs tcg_temp_free_*

[Richard Henderson]

At some point during the development of tcg_constant_*, I changed
my mind about whether such temps should be able to be passed to
tcg_temp_free_*.  The final version committed allows this, but the
commentary was not updated to match.
