** Fix an expression to return one result. ** If expression is not a multi-ret expression (function call or ** vararg), it already returns one result, so nothing needs to be done. ** Function calls become VNONRELOC expressions (as its result comes ** fixed in the base register of the call), while vararg expressions ** become VRELOC (as OP_VARARG puts its results where it wants). ** (Calls are crea

** to be fixed.)
