I wonder, right before this patch, how the idr index got removed?
delete op is NULL and I didn't find anyone else to do it.

Also, after this patch, does it make sense to have following check in
tcf_action_del_1()?

       if (ops->delete)
	       err = ops->delete(net, index);

Looks like ops->delete is non-null for all.

Seems to me that you need to introduce this patch filling up the delete
op in all acts and only after that introduce a code that actually calls
it.
