sctp: improve how SSN, TSN and ASCONF serial are compared

Make it similar to time_before() macros:
- easier to understand
- make use of typecheck() to avoid working on unexpected variable types
  (made the issue on previous patch visible)
- for _[lg]te versions, slighly faster, as the compiler used to generate
  a sequence of cmp/je/cmp/js instructions and now it's sub/test/jle
  (for _lte):

Before, for sctp_outq_sack:
	if (primary->cacc.changeover_active) {
    1f01:	80 b9 84 02 00 00 00 	cmpb   $0x0,0x284(%rcx)
    1f08:	74 6e                	je     1f78 <sctp_outq_sack+0xe8>
		u8 clear_cycling = 0;

		if (TSN_lte(primary->cacc.next_tsn_at_change, sack_ctsn)) {
    1f0a:	8b 81 80 02 00 00    	mov    0x280(%rcx),%eax
	return ((s) - (t)) & TSN_SIGN_BIT;
}

static inline int TSN_lte(__u32 s, __u32 t)
{
	return ((s) == (t)) || (((s) - (t)) & TSN_SIGN_BIT);
    1f10:	8b 7d bc             	mov    -0x44(%rbp),%edi
    1f13:	39 c7                	cmp    %eax,%edi
    1f15:	74 25                	je     1f3c <sctp_outq_sack+0xac>
    1f17:	39 f8                	cmp    %edi,%eax
    1f19:	78 21                	js     1f3c <sctp_outq_sack+0xac>
			primary->cacc.changeover_active = 0;

After:
	if (primary->cacc.changeover_active) {
    1ee7:	80 b9 84 02 00 00 00 	cmpb   $0x0,0x284(%rcx)
    1eee:	74 73                	je     1f63 <sctp_outq_sack+0xf3>
		u8 clear_cycling = 0;

		if (TSN_lte(primary->cacc.next_tsn_at_change, sack_ctsn)) {
    1ef0:	8b 81 80 02 00 00    	mov    0x280(%rcx),%eax
    1ef6:	2b 45 b4             	sub    -0x4c(%rbp),%eax
    1ef9:	85 c0                	test   %eax,%eax
    1efb:	7e 26                	jle    1f23 <sctp_outq_sack+0xb3>
			primary->cacc.changeover_active = 0;

*_lt() generated pretty much the same code.
Tested with gcc (GCC) 6.1.1 20160621.

This patch also removes SSN_lte as it is not used and cleanups some
comments.
