In preparation for FORTIFY_SOURCE performing compile-time and run-time
field bounds checking for memcpy(), memmove(), and memset(), avoid
intentionally writing across neighboring fields.
To avoid having memcpy() think a u64 "prof" is being written beyond,
adjust the prof member type by adding struct nix_bandprof_s to the union
to match the other structs. This silences the following future warning:
