Hmm, I don't like removing the DCHECK here to ensure that a task runner is only
set once in production code.  ResetRecordActionTaskRunnerForTest() is one
(potentially good) option.  Another would be to ignore any task runners that
belong to the current thread, since the task runner is only used for
thread-hopping.

[beaudoin, 2016/04/08 13:56:00]

That second approach is clever, but unfortunately it will break the assumption
(above) that RecordComputedAction is only called when either the g_task_runner
is set or g_callbacks is empty.

I'll go with SetRecordActionTaskRunnerForTesting().

[Ilya Sherman, 2016/04/09 07:06:10]

Hmm, maybe I didn't phrase my suggestion very clearly.  I meant, in the case
that a task runner is already set, it would be fine to ignore subsequent calls
to SetRecordActionTaskRunner() in the case that the new and the old task runner
run on the same thread.  (If that still breaks the assumption that
RecordComputedAction is only called when either the g_task_runner is set or
g_callbacks is empty, then I'm missing something, and would very much appreciate
a clarification =))

[beaudoin1, 2016/04/09 19:07:35]

Ah! I thought you meant to ignore it even the first time it's set (if it's on
the same thread), but it would not make much sense.

I like that approach better, I'll migrate to it.
