minmax.h: simplify the variants of clamp()

[Eliav Farber]

From: David Laight <David.Laight at ACULAB.COM>

[ Upstream commit 495bba17cdf95e9703af1b8ef773c55ef0dfe703 ]

Always pass a 'type' through to __clamp_once(), pass '__auto_type' from
clamp() itself.

The expansion of __types_ok3() is reasonable so it isn't worth the added
complexity of avoiding it when a fixed type is used for all three values.
