This change is pointless -- if we don't get into this if() we don't care
about the value of supp_rates.

That's just as pointless, it doesn't matter whether you add the
mandatory rates here or earlier.

And that's not really right -- I don't think we should be calling
_init() over and over again. This could be a call to
rate_control_rate_update() with a certain flag instead.
