Putting the field there creates a hole in the structure.
Put it after tc_ov and fill an existing hole.

This is pahole of current code, looks like this struct could
use some work to be better packed and aligned.

struct rte_sched_port {
	uint32_t                   n_subports_per_port;  /*     0     4 */
