To be frank, the logic in action_show is easier to understand than the
logic above. I have taken more than half an hour to think if the logic
here is right or not. In action_show, it only needs to think when it's
not idle and it's easy.

Now this patch logic needs to think in the opposite direction: when
it's idle. And it returns ACTION_IDLE at two places which means it
still needs to think about when it has sync action. So it's better to
keep the original logic in action_show now. It's just my 2 cents
point.
