be2net: Use correct byte order and format string for TCP seq and ack_seq

The TCP header fields seq and ack_seq are 32-bit values in network
byte order as (__be32). these fields were earlier printed using
ntohs(), which converts only 16-bit values and produces incorrect
results for 32-bit fields. This patch is changeing the conversion
to ntohl(), ensuring correct interpretation of these sequence numbers.

Notably, the format specifier is updated from %d to %u to reflect the
unsigned nature of these fields.

improves the accuracy of debug log messages for TCP sequence and
acknowledgment numbers during TX timeouts.
