Comment (by azaozz):

 I too don't think we need `_backup_plugin_globals()` and
 `_restore_plugin_globals()`. They change the existing behavior for no good
 reason, see long slack discussion:
 https://wordpress.slack.com/archives/core/p1471041725003663.

 If we don't backup and restore the globals, it all behaves in the same way
 as in 4.5. It doesn't make any difference where `$wp_filter` or
 `add_filter()` are defined, it only matters if the global is set before
 the function is called, and the place that function is called for the
 first time hasn't changed.
