The Babel seqno wraps around when reaching its maximum value (UINT16_MAX). When comparing seqnos, this has to be taken into account. Therefore, plain number comparisons do not work. In a previous attempt to fix the wrapping behavior, one particular comparison was missed. This causes the seqno of originated babel routes to not wrap, but remain at UINT16_MAX indefinitely, resulting in slow route propagation on topology changes. Make use of the previously introduced gt_mod64k macro to compare seqnos correctly.
