Subject: [PATCH] tc: man: change man page and comment to confirm to code's
 behavior.


Since the get_rate() code incorrectly interpreted bare number, the
behavior is not the same as man page and comment described.

We need to change the man page and comment for compatible with the
existing usage by scripts.
