Back out the change to howmany().  The caller can always pass it types
with the same signedness (after promotion) or cast the value.  This
is a bit like the caller having to do this for min(9undoc):
min(1U, -1) gives a very wrong value.  min(1U, 1) gives the correct
value but may only escape being warned about because the args get
silently converted to u_int.
