Very nice diagnose, thanks!

PS: after upgrading iproute I couldn't reproduce this seemingly OK
test with older versions anymore...

------------------->
pkt_sched: act_police: Fix a rate estimator test.

A commit c1b56878fb68e9c14070939ea4537ad4db79ffae "tc: policing requires
a rate estimator" introduced a test which invalidates previously working
configs, based on examples from iproute2: doc/actions/actions-general.
This is too rigorous: a rate estimator is needed only when police's
"avrate" option is used.
