    libc: fix description issues in mac_text(3)/mac_free(3)
    
    mac_text(3) as-written would seem to indicate that a `mac_t` should be
    freed with free(3), but this isn't the case.  One can derive from
    context from when the change was introduced and COMPATIBILITY that this
    was intended to talk about *text in `mac_to_text`, so move the comment
    there.
