mpz_fac_ui calls shrinking realloc

Hello,
this is not a bug, but a surprising behavior:
mpz_fac_ui often calls realloc to shrink its first parameter.
Is that done on purpose? Other than there, shrinking seems very rare in
gmp, the main exceptions being:
- *_get_str, but it shrinks a string, not a gmp type, and only if it
allocated the string itself);
- mpf, where precision and allocation are a single number.
