Note that from_one may even be NULL.

Yeah, I hadn't thought about the bit cleanup when making my original
suggestion. In the original code (before 4fbcca4eff), I think we did set
flags as we iterated through the loop, and we could still do an early
return when we hit "!reachable(...)". But I don't see any cleanup of
assign_flag there at all.
So I guess I'm pretty confused about what the semantics are supposed to
be.
