> The q_vector names are based on the interface name with a driver prefix,
> the type of q_vector setup, and the queue number. We previously set the
> size of this variable to IFNAMSIZ + 9, which is incorrect, because we actually
> include a minimum of 14 characters extra beyond the interface name size.
>
> New versions of GCC since 7 include a new warning that detects this possible
> truncation and complains. We can fix this by increasing the size incase our
> interface name is too large to avoid truncation. We don't need to go beyond
> 14 because the compiler is smart enough to realize our values can never
> exceed size of 1. We do go up to 15 here because possible future changes
> may increase the number of queues beyond one digit.
>
> While we are here, also change some variables to be unsigned (since they
> are never negative) and stop using an extra unnecessary %s format specifier.
