runtime: remove another TODO

I experimented with having the compiler spill the two registers that
are clobbered by the write barrier fast path, but it slightly slows
down compilebench, which is a good write barrier benchmark:

name       old time/op     new time/op     delta
Template       175ms ± 0%      176ms ± 1%    ~           (p=0.393 n=10+10)

GoTypes        585ms ± 0%      588ms ± 1%    ~            (p=0.173 n=8+10)
Compiler       2.78s ± 1%      2.81s ± 2%  +0.81%        (p=0.023 n=10+10)

Flate          115ms ± 1%      116ms ± 2%    ~           (p=0.853 n=10+10)

Tar            185ms ± 2%      185ms ± 2%    ~           (p=0.529 n=10+10)

Since this didn't pan out, remove the TODO.
