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.
