I don't think it is required to have a deprecation notice for this, as it is adding
another element in a union, and it is not changing its size.
However, this would require an addition in rte_crypto_op_sess_type, which,
as long as it is added at the end, should not require a deprecation notice.

About splitting this into two patches, I would do it, as I believe deprecation notices
should target a specific library.
