tc: policing requires a rate estimator
Found that while trying average rate policing, it was possible to request average rate policing without a rate estimator. This results in no policing which is harmless but incorrect. Since policing could be setup in two steps, need to check in the kernel. Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger <shemminger@vyatta.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
