RFR(S): 7185699: G1: Prediction model discrepancies

[John Cuthbertson]

Hi Azeem,

Thanks for looking at the code. We don't need a closing quote because 
SIZE_FORMAT is a macro already - what it expands to provides the closing 
quote, e.g.:

#define SIZE_FORMAT        "%" PRIuPTR

and:

#define PRIuPTR                 "u"

The definition of ergo_format_bytes above gets the closing quote from 
the " bytes" string.

Thanks,

JohnC
