We filter out because we can't build Graal anymore. But we need these 
module-info.java files because JVMCI's module-info.java references them:
https://github.com/openjdk/jdk/blob/master/src/jdk.internal.vm.ci/share/classes/module-info.java#L26

Otherwise we can't build JVMCI which we continue to support.

I filed followup RFE to implement Alan's suggestion to use Module  API which 
will allow to remove these files later:
