JDK-8067094 - Suppress deprecation warnings in Java Flight Recorder
Description
javac doesn't respect the @SuppressWarnings("deprecation") on the enclosing class when it is processing the default clause of the annotation method declaration, i.e.

@Deprecated
enum Foo {
    Bar
}

@interface Baz {
    @SuppressWarnings("deprecation") 
    Foo foo() default Foo.Bar;
}


javac -Xlint:deprecation Repro.java 

produces

Repro.java:9: warning: [deprecation] Foo in unnamed package has been deprecated
    Foo foo() default Foo.Bar;
                      ^
1 warning

which seems to contradict the @Deprecated section of JLS
