Try if these steps produce a working maxctrl:

wget https://downloads.mariadb.com/MaxScale/2.2.16/centos/7/x86_64/maxscale-2.2.16.centos.7.tar.gz
 
tar -axf maxscale-2.2.16.centos.7.tar.gz
 
maxscale-2.2.16.centos.7/bin/maxctrl help

Could not reproduce with CentOS 6 with either RHEL or CentOS packages for versions 2.2.9 and 2.2.16. Both versions on both OSes worked as expected.

Turns out that on some systems when an RPM is installed it is stripped by default. To prevent this, the packaging had to be modified.
