ethtool: rss: support skipping contexts during dump
Applications may want to deal with dynamic RSS contexts only.
So dumping context 0 will be counter-productive for them.
Support starting the dump from a given context ID.
Alternative would be to implement a dump flag to skip just
context 0, not sure which is better...
