Hum.... maybe my explanation is not good enough. It is not a problem if it is
called with active instances. It would be an error if the same instance was
already registered at this point, but that was checked before. Here it is
checking for other instances that should have enabled the workload.

Does updating the comment with the one below helps?

---- %< ----
Instances need to be registered after calling workload
start. Hence, if there is already a registered instance,
this instance is not the first one to enable the workload,
and a previous instance has already started the workload.

Otherwise, this code is on the way to register the
first instance, and the workload needs to start.
