I'd like to reference the case where I found this useful against
FreeRadius server, see:
http://lists.freeradius.org/pipermail/freeradius-users/2018-January/090245.html

I left it unconditional as I assumed that without this change it
wouldn't make much sense having the chain included.

Review appreciated.

Thank you,
Isaac B.
