devlink: Improve the port attributes description

Current PF number description is vague, sometimes interpreted as
some PF index. VF number in the PCI specification starts at 1; however
in kernel, it starts at 0 for representor model.

Improve the description of devlink port attributes PF, VF and SF
numbers with these details.
