Follow-up on the "egress qos" failure (ovn tests 85/86). This is a 
testbed/environment
issue.

The test greps for a fixed `cburst 3.....b` in the `tc` output, but that value
depends on the kernel timer resolution of the machine running the test (via the
4th field of /proc/net/psched = NSEC_PER_SEC / hrtimer_resolution):

With high-resolution timers (e.g. upstream CI) -> cburst ~= 374933b ->
matches "3.....b" -> test PASSES

With coarse timers (e.g. virtualized autopkgtest testbeds) -> cburst is
8 digits -> does not match -> test FAILS

This is why it fails on the autopkgtest infrastructure (both amd64 and
s390x) but was never seen upstream. It is independent of the openvswitch
version (the functions that compute the HTB burst/cburst have not been
touched since OVS 3.2.0) and not a regression from 3.3.9.
