Hah, indeed, I thought it was symmetric, guess it's not.

However, that reminds me that I actually wanted to get rid of
rate_init() since it's mostly not useful to have it separate from
alloc_sta()... oh well.

I suppose if we document clearly that rate_init maybe called multiple
times and audit the existing algorithms the patch could be ok.
