RFR 8080225: FileInputStream cleanup should be improved

Hi Roger,

This looks good overall.

53 * unreachable should explicitly override {@link #finalize} and call 
{@code close}.

Since finalize is deprecated, I would not recommend to have the subclass 
adding the finalize method.  I suggest to take that phrase out (I gave a 
similar comment to JDK-8185582 [1]).   Users should use 
try-with-resource or register the instances in a cleaner.

As for the tests, FinalizeShdCallClose.java implements finalize.  I 
think it'd be good to convert them to try-with-resource.

I'm not close to java.io implementation.  Would registerCleanup be 
called more than once? line 220 in the registerCleanup will create a new 
cleanup if it's invoked the second time - is it intentional?

216 synchronized void registerCleanup() {
217 if (cleanup != null) {
218 cleanup.clear();
219 }
220 cleanup = FDCleanup.create(this);
221 } thanks Mandy
