The following warning is now shown as a result of new checks added for
gcc 7:

drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ixgbevf/ixgbevf_main.c: In function ‘ixgbevf_open’:
drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ixgbevf/ixgbevf_main.c:1363:13: warning: ‘%d’

Resolve this warning by making a couple of changes.
 - Don't reserve space for the null terminator.  Since snprintf adds the
   null terminator automatically, there is no need for us to reserve a byte
   for it.

 - Change a couple variables that can never be negative from int to
   unsigned int.

While we're making changes to the format string, move the constant strings
into the format string instead of providing them as specifiers.

I suspect that trick saved some data space due to using the identical (and so merged) format strings...
