The risk seems small, but I agree it is sloppy.

Ok, done. This revision ends up being a bit cleaner than the previous
one because I've refactored out the unbind loop into netlink_unbind()
due to it needing to be called if the netlink_insert/autobind() fails as
well. In the factorization process I noticed that unrequested groups
were being unnecessarily unbound. It also provoked assigning the var
"groups" from "nladdr->nl_groups" making things easier to read.

Compiled and tested. New patchset to follow.
