openssh unix dev - Jan 2013 - [PATCH] avoid undefined behavior in fmt_scaled()

fmt_scaled() computes the absolute value of its argument, and returns an 
error if the result is still negative (i.e., when the value is LLONG_MIN). 
However, taking the negative of LLONG_MIN is undefined behavior in C, and 
some compilers (e.g., gcc-4.7.2) will optimize away the 'abval < 0'
check
as being always false (since it can only be true with undefined behavior).
The patch below performs an equivalent check without invoking undefined 
behavior.
