[11u] RFR 8235183: Remove the "HACK CODE" in comment

[Lindenmaier, Goetz]

Hi,

I asked Richard to work on the changes in the query on the jdk11u 
project page. I want to get more people in our team working on this, 
as we didn't make the dev close of 11.0.7. So thanks Rich for helping
out!

As this change has no effect whatsoever, it makes no difference 
whether it is downported or not. (Obviously Oracle does not want
somebody to read through the code and find hints to hacks ... like
parties that have licensed the code ...)

For the query, we can flag it with openjdk-na.

For people that do their own query, and that wonder
that this is not downported, we can comment that it
is only a comment change and thus needs not be downported.
Well, they must read the bug all to the end up to the comment,
or they'll find out themselves by reading the patch.

But we can as well just push it ... then our code does not
mention hacks either ��

... but really not a big issue ...

Andrew, please decide and label the bug accordingly.

Best regards,
  Goetz.
