The changelog of this commit mention a potential problem with the menu governor but not a real observation and I assume it described an old code as the commit is from 2008. I have been digging through the code and I didn't find any place where the interrupts are enabled before reading the time. Moreover with the changes in the meantime, we moved the time measurements in the cpuidle core as well as the interrupts enabling making sure the time is measured before the interrupt are enabled again in a single place. Remove this test as the time measurement is always valid for this state.
