When we share an action within a filter, the bind refcnt
should increase, therefore we should not call tcf_hash_release().

Did you test all variants on this?

I.e. what happens when you replace an existing one, I think the
refcnt should also be dropped here. It looks like we only drop
it, in case we tried to add an action to an already existing index ...
