This is to handle the race condition where the cpu switches from the task we want to another task in the interval between sending the IPI and the IPI arriving and being handled on the target CPU. For some reason, __perf_counter_read is missing this check, yet there is no reason why the race condition can't occur. This adds a check that the current task is the one we want. If it isn't, we just return. In that case the counter->count value should be up to date, since it will have been updated when the counter was scheduled out, which must have happened since the IPI was sent. I don't have an example of an actual failure due to this race, but it seems obvious that it could occur and we need to guard against it.
