Review Request: 7193406 - Clean-up JDK Build Warnings in java.util, java.io

[Dan Xu]

I also thought the space was not needed. But when I made the changes, I 
found that many similar codes had the space when two or more warning 
types need to be suppressed. For example, java/util/Collections.java,  
java/util/Arrays.java, java/util/ComparableTimSort.java, and etc. If 
only one warning type needs to be suppressed, I don't see the space in 
our codes. Thanks!
