Had to make this more generic to support use-case below; happy to rename
file/method if this is otherwise fine with you and owners of this file.

 #else
-inline base::Closure MakeCriticalClosure(const base::Closure& closure) {
+template <typename CallbackType>
+inline CallbackType MakeCriticalClosure(const CallbackType& closure) {
   // No-op for platforms where the application does not need to acquire
   // background time for closures to finish when it goes into the background.
   return closure;
 }
 #endif  // !defined(OS_IOS)
 
 }  // namespace base
 
 #endif  // BASE_CRITICAL_CLOSURE_H_
