Review comment:
       TFTR. 
   Originally in HelixStateTransitionHandler, handling for these two cases are 
different.
   For the first case when toState == currentState, we just treat the task as 
succeeded and finish task. There is no difference between doing the no-op when 
executing and bypass the task at scheduling phase.
   
   In the second case when currentState != fromState, executor will set the 
task as failed and report state transition error. Ir will also update ZK.
   
   Having same logic causes a test fail. Controller keeps sending many 
'INIT->RUNNING' message when currentState is TASK_ERROR if we don't report task 
error. Currently task error is reported in HelixStateTransitionHandler.
