Subject: [PATCH net-next] ibmvnic: Improve output for unsupported stats

The vnic server can report -1 in the event that a given statistic is not
supported. Currently, the -1 value is implicitly cast to an unsigned
integer and appears through the ethtool -S output as a very large number.
This patch improves this behavior by reporting 0 in the event that a
given statistic is not supported.
