When we share an action within a filter, the bind refcnt

Seems like this slipped in via commit 1a29321ed045. The ugly thing is that
this leads to a use-after-free.

# tc actions add action pedit munge offset 2 u16 at 0 0f0000000 22 set 11500
# tc actions show action pedit
   action order 0:  pedit action pass keys 1
   index 1 ref 1 bind 0
   key #0  at 0: val 00002cec mask ffff0000
# tc filter add dev foo parent 1: bpf bytecode "$FOO" flowid 1:1 action pedit index 1
# tc filter show dev foo
   filter parent 1: protocol all pref 49152 bpf
   filter parent 1: protocol all pref 49152 bpf handle 0x1 flowid 1:1 bytecode '1,6 0 0 4294967295'
   action order 1: pedit action pass keys 1
   index 1 ref 1 bind 0
   key #0  at 0: val 00002cec mask ffff0000
# tc actions del action pedit index 1

.... and now you can wait for the next egress packet. ;)

Thanks for the fix Cong!
