        This warning detects unnecessary compares for >= 0 of unsigned values.

        At least one warning unveils a real bug. In memory/blockOffsetTable.cpp, BlockOffsetArrayContigSpace::last_active_index(), the compare to >=0 tries to prevent an underflow, but the value is unsigned.

        Further useless compares in real code are in os_linux.cpp, opto/graphKit.cpp and prims/jvmtiRedefineClasses.cpp.

        In some places debug code with constant debug flags caused warnings in the opt build (g1/concurrentMark.cpp, classfile/systemDictionary.cpp) .

        Most of the warnings occur in asserts.

        The change also removes an empty #ifdef ASSERT.
