9p/net: xen: fix false positive printf format overflow warning



Use the constant to make the compiler happy about this warning:

There is no change in logic: there only are a constant number of rings,
and there also already is a BUILD_BUG_ON that checks if that constant
goes over 9 as anything bigger would no longer fit the event-channel-%d
destination size.

In theory having that size as part of the struct means it could be
modified by another thread and makes the compiler lose track of possible
values for 'i' here, using the constant directly here makes it work.
