[PATCH v5 3/7] Appropriately converts logger numeric level to syslog log level

The kdump-logger will be used by the system service(daemons), so let's appropriately convert the logger numeric level to syslog level with the facility(daemon). The number is constructed by multiplying the facility by 8 and then adding the level. About The Syslog Protocol, please refer to the RFC5424 for more details.
