When allocating memory through malloc(9), we always expect the amount of
memory requested to be unsigned as a negative value would either stand for
an error or an overflow.
Unsign some values, found when considering the use of mallocarray(9), to
avoid unnecessary casting. Also consider that indexes should be of
at least the same size/type as the upper limit they pretend to index.

Mainly focus on files that use BSD 3-Clause license.
The Software Package Data Exchange (SPDX) group provides a specification
to make it easier for automated tools to detect and summarize well known
opensource licenses. We are gradually adopting the specification, noting
that the tags are considered only advisory and do not, in any way,
superceed or replace the license texts.
Special thanks to Wind River for providing access to "The Duke of
Highlander" tool: an older (2014) run over FreeBSD tree was useful as a
starting point.
It will be used for the upcoming LRO hash table initialization.
And probably will be useful in other cases, when M_WAITOK can't
be used.

While the pointer might not be too helpful, the malloc type might at
least give a good hint about which hashtbl we are talking.

Although this file has historically been used as a dumping ground for
random functions, nowadays it only contains functions related to copying
bits {from,to} userspace and hash table utility functions.
Behold, subr_uio.c and subr_hash.c.
