vyos.ethtool: T3163: ring-buffer values should be stored as string

Commit 29082959 ("ethernet: T3163: only change ring-buffer settings if
required") added a delta-check code for the ring buffer values, unfortunately
this was never properly evaluated as str() and int() got compared resulting
always in an unequal result.
