Bug in ospf6_lsa_compare()

This fix is probably correct on 32bit systems,
but i think it will not work on 64bit systems.
sizeof(signed long) would be 8 and therefore the
cast from u_int32_t will map all the values to
non-negative part of long int.

You would like to use int (like in ospfd) and
change the type of seqnuma, seqnumb to that.

The type int32_t would be even more proper, but
sizeof(int) is 4 on relevant platforms.
