s/prevents/allows/

ie. the denylist prevents binding, therefore disabling the denylist
allows binding

I can fix this on commit without a new version if you agree. I also
see that patch 1/5 didn't change since v2, so I'll transfer Bjorn's
ack. If that sounds good I'll queue the first 3 patches in my next
branch for v5.9. Thanks,

Alex
