batman-adv: Fix consistency of update route messages
The debug messages of _batadv_update_route were printed before the actual route change is done. At this point it is not really known which curr_router will be replaced. Thus the messages could print the wrong operation. Printing the debug messages after the operation was done avoids this problem.
