[Intel-wired-lan] [PATCH 3/3] ethtool: correct VF index values for the ring_cookie parameter

Instead of relying on the input being offset by 1, instead adjust the
"vf" input value by 1 so that it correctly targets the VF the user
expects. Additionally, update the displayed output to show the correct
VF number.

This is the way the VF parameter should have worked from the beginning,
but unfortunately I did not code it as such. It may be considered a
functional change (since we already supported the vf parameter with the
offset not handled properly). I would consider this a bug fix, but it
might be considered a behavior change....
