Subject: [net] igbvf: fix divide by zero

From: Mitch A Williams <mitch.a.williams@...el.com>

Using ethtool -C ethX rx-usecs 0 crashes with a divide by zero.
Refactor this function to fix this issue and make it more clear
what the intent of each conditional is. Add comment regarding
using a setting of zero.
