Subject: logger: messages are logged with kern.* priority by default
X-Git-Tag: v2.27-rc1~395^2~1

logger: messages are logged with kern.* priority by default

The default should be user.notice and kern.* should never be used
(syslog(3) forbids this).

This is a severe regression, as messages are now logged to the wrong
bin or not at all. So they get lost and may confuse readers of the
kernel bin.

regression from 2.25.2 to 2.26
