ethtool: lots of extra escaped charachters in output

### Relevant telegraf.conf:

```toml
[agent]
  interval = "5s"
  round_interval = true
  metric_batch_size = 1000
  metric_buffer_limit = 10000
  collection_jitter = "1s"
  flush_interval = "5s"
  flush_jitter = "1s"
  precision = ""
  debug = false
  quiet = false
  logfile = ""
  omit_hostname = false

[[inputs.ethtool]]
name_prefix = "dns_"
interface_include = ["enp0s3"]


[[outputs.file]]
  ## Files to write to, "stdout" is a specially handled file.
  files = ["/tmp/metrics.out"]
  rotation_max_size = "10MB"
  rotation_max_archives = 3

```

### System info:



v1.20

### Steps to reproduce:



1. Run telegraf with ethtool input plugin on a NIC using the vmxnet3 driver on ESXi
2. Observe output

### Expected behavior:

The field keys are not escaping extra whitespace

### Actual behavior:

```
