The one of possibles scenerio for 'previous code 'is:
In routine A _enter_count check could had been positive, then execution of routine can been interrupted by routine B which would call core_util_critical_section_exit. In result after routine A executed core_util_critical_section_enter the critical section is not enabled - and the _entry_count value is equal to 1.
So _entry_count check-modify must be a atomic operation in order to mitigate this and similar scenarios.
This Is exactly how app_util_critical_region_ente call work.
