James reported in [1] that there could be two tasks running on the same CPU with task_struct->on_cpu set. Using task_struct->on_cpu as a test if a task is running on a CPU may thus match the old task for a CPU while the scheduler is running and IPI it unnecessarily. task_curr() is the correct helper to use. While doing so move the #ifdef check of the CONFIG_SMP symbol to be a C conditional used to determine if this helper should be used to ensure the code is always checked for correctness by the compiler.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
