Subject: [ethtool 3/3] ethtool: correct VF index values for the ring_cookie parameter

From: Jacob Keller <jacob.e.keller@...el.com>

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.
