Trac #14939 showed a type like
   type Alg cls ob = ob
   f :: forall (cls :: * -> Constraint) (b :: Alg cls *). b

where the kind of the forall looks like (Alg cls *), with a
free cls. This tripped up Core Lint.

I fixed this by making Core Lint a bit more forgiving, expanding
type synonyms if necessary.

I'm worried that this might not be the whole story; notably
typeKind looks suspect.  But it certainly fixes this problem.
