So rte_crypto_asym_op is at the end of the rte_crypto_op struct, so any
changes there are safe.

The warning above is complaining about changes to rte_crypto_asym_op.
IMHO it is safe to condone these warnings in the libabigail.ignore.

libabigail.ignore exceptions was reset at the 21.11 release, although I
took a look and don't see anything related to asymmetric crypto prior to
that.
