[Intel-wired-lan] [PATCH next] ixgbe: Fix misuse of word as register offset instead of offset in register array

When I had rewritten the code for ixgbe_clear_vf_vlans() it looks like I
had transitioned back and forth between using word as an offset and using
word as a register offset.  As a result I honestly don't see how the code
was working before other than the fact that resetting the VLANs on the VF
like didn't do much to clear them.

I have updated the code so that word represents the offset in the array.
This way we can use the modulus and xor operations and they will make sense
instead of being performed on a 4 byte aligned value.

I replaced the statement "(word % 2) ^ 1" with "~word % 2" in order to
reduce the line length as the line exceeded 80 characters with the register
name inserted.  The two should be equivalent so the change should be safe.
