So why don't you clear the bit there?

This is not just cleanup - till now, when action == NULL, the function
would return 0, while with your patch it would return 1 (which is wrong
afaict), so you'll minimally need to move down the unbind: label by one
line. But the cleanup here would better be a separate patch anyway.
