 commit 68149452a793aedd8d468b689dc93fb2ba5ec436

     Fix tcDataKindSig

     This patch fixes an outright bug in tcDataKindSig, shown up in Trac
     of a data type declaration.  See Note [TyConBinders for the result
 kind
     signature of a data type]

     I also took the opportunity to elminate the DataKindCheck argument
     and data type from tcDataKindSig, instead moving the check to the
     call site, which is easier to understand.
