Referring to the below patch couldn't/shouldn't the line be

if (local_irq_count[this_cpu] || local_bh_count[this_cpu])
goto scheduling_in_interrupt;

instead of what is found below? (Please note I am trying to become a
Kernel hacker, most of my programming experience is in small games and
porting small apps.)

Or is this totally erroneous to the coding style used?
