---------------------------------------
Thanx [~giovanni.fumarola]
{code:java}
//Old Code
new FileInputStream(procfsMemFile)
{code}
This part throws FNF and no other block throws any Exception.
{code:java}
// New Code
Files.newInputStream(Paths.get(procfsMemFile))
{code}
This part throws IOE and no other block throws any Exception.
This is the only changed part, so we won't hide away any other exception coming
from the part not being handled before.
A simple verification can done to proof the fact, just temporarily remove the
{{Files.newInputStream(Paths.get(procfsMemFile))}} and the IOE catch gives
{{Unreachable catch block for IOException. This exception is never thrown from
the try statement body}}
> Avoid FileStream to improve performance

> The FileInputStream and FileOutputStream classes contains a finalizer method
> which will cause garbage collection pauses. See
> [JDK-8080225|https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8080225] for details.
> The FileReader and FileWriter constructors instantiate FileInputStream and
> FileOutputStream, again causing garbage collection issues while finalizer
> methods are called.
