tcg: comment on which functions have to be called with tb_lock held

softmmu requires more functions to be thread-safe, because translation
blocks can be invalidated from e.g. notdirty callbacks.  Probably the
same holds for user-mode emulation, it's just that no one has ever
tried to produce a coherent locking there.

This patch will guide the introduction of more tb_lock and tb_unlock
calls for system emulation.

Note that after this patch some (most) of the mentioned functions are
still called outside tb_lock/tb_unlock.  The next one will rectify this.
