ufs|ext2fs: Revert uses of mallocarray(9).
These aren't really useful: drop them.
Variable unsigning will be brought again later.
Variable "unsigning" (that is, adding unsign extension bugs) is even more
negatively useful than mallocarray(), so should not be brought back.
Unsigning variables used _only_ for array sizes and element counts doesn't
cause any new problems (and fixes warnings about converting from signed to
unsigned when calling malloc*()), but it is a lot of work to check that
they aren't used for other things where their signedness matters (perhaps
differences or loops that count down to -1 instead of 0).
Unsigned variables also break checking for overflow in expressions by
compiling with -ftrapv.
