The bug you reported to me yesterday is in mirred action module cleanup,
so how is it possible to be fixed in cls_api.c? It should be act_api.c.

If you meant to fix a different bug, please include the backtrace in the log?

Your patch looks good generally, but actually I doubt we need to check for
an existing ops when unregistering, since we almost for sure only unregister
existing ones as they are all static allocated.
