> 
> The meter suffix flow item pointer restore is not correct to decrease a fixed
> value. The incorrect operation will cause incorrect match to the meter suffix
> flow, the flow create will fail once the magic number in the wrong offset
> memory start with RTE_FLOW_ITEM_TYPE_END.
> The pointer should decrease the real offset it increases.
> 
> Set the decrease value to the real offset the pointer increases to fix the issue.
