lfind(3) $3 type should be const

Hi!

lfind(3) does not modify its third argument, *nmemb.

It's already suspicious that it takes a pointer, but I guess it's due to
historic reasons, and that's already set in stone.

However, I don't see why we should not make it 'const'.  The function
doesn't use it as an output pointer.  Should I sent a patch for
constifying it?

Have a lovely day!
Alex
