util: fix syslog facility value

We set SYSLOG_PRIORITY when sending to journald to avoid our
messages getting tagged with the default facility which is
used for the kernel.

Unfortunately:

    Use daemon log facility for journald

used the LOG_nnn constants from the syslog header without realizing
that these values have a bit-shift applied. While Linux defines a
LOG_FAC() macros to undo the bit-shift this doesn't appear to be
standardized. So the safe thing is to just use the raw value since
these values are fixed by RFC 5424.
