[PATCH] nmbclusters should be always positive

Currently, the following is allowed in FreeBSD:

root at rabbit1:/home/davide/udp-clt # sysctl kern.ipc.nmbclusters=2147483647
kern.ipc.nmbclusters: 2036598 -> -2147483648

The following is an attempt of fixing.
I also think nmbcluster should actually be u_int and not it, but this
is a discussion for another day, maybe.
