It's not a double callback, it's just a test to see if the  callback 
function exists before calling it.

Javascript only evaluates the expressions necessary to determine whether 
a logical expression is true or false. So if I write
   (1==2 && foo())
Javascript notices that 1==2 is false, and knows that (False && True) 
and (False && False) are both False. So it doesn't need to evaluate 
foo() in order to determine that the whole expression is False, and it 
doesn't call foo().

In the case of
    _xdc_._1fsm2u0k2 && _xdc_._1fsm2u0k2(...)
if _xdc_._1fsm2u0k2 is undefined or void or null, then Javascript 
doesn't need to evaluate _xdc_._1fsm2u0k2(...) to determine that the 
whole expression is false.
On the other hand, if _xdc_._1fsm2u0k2 is a real function reference, in 
boolean context that's considered True, so Javascript has to evaluate 
the rest of the logical expression in order to determine if the entire 
expression is True or False.
