[PATCH v9 2/8] transport-pci: Refer to the vq by its number

[Parav Pandit <parav@nvidia.com>]

Currently specification uses virtqueue index and
number interchangeably to refer to the virtqueue.

Instead refer to it by its number.

This patch is on top of [1].

changelog:
v8->v9:
- reword the sentence to avoid future tense, like rest of the other
  fields description
- reword the sentence to avoid multiple verbs use and put -> uses
- use shorter name 'vq number' instead of 'virtqueue number'
v7->v8:
- remove note about first virtqueue number
- skipped Max's comment to put word 'structure' in same line as its
  crosses 65 chars limit per line
- reworded queue_notification data set line, as '=' and vq number
  wording was odd
v2->v3:
- addressed comments from Michael
- changed vqn to virtqueue number in the Note
- refer to vqn field instead of virtqueue number
