[OPTIMIZATION] remove a redundant condition statement for empty str judgement in `whitespace_tokenize`
It seems a redundant conditional judgement here for spliting a str object, because it still works when the str object is None or empty string. Maybe I just don't know what the `if` conditional judgement here used to represent some special meaning.
