Actually this is real bug. The args is a stack variable, so it could
have junk (uninitialized) therefore args.np could have a non-NULL and
random value even though property was missing. Later could trigger
invalid pointer dereference.

Only "if (ret)" because args.np won't be initialized on errors.
