Breaking the staging restriction in type splices causes GHC panic

Test case:

{-# LANGUAGE TemplateHaskell #-}
module B where

import Language.Haskell.TH

ty :: Q Type
ty = [t| Int |]

f :: $ty
f = undefined

The error message is:

B.hs:9:6:
    GHC internal error: `ty' is not in scope during type checking, but it passed the renamer
    tcl_env of environment: []
    In the expression: ty
    In the type signature for `f': f :: $ty

This is the same error as in #5792 (closed).
