[PATCH] dmesg: restrict output to default log level by default

[Ahmad Fatoum]

When loglevel is set to debug, dmesg shows a torrent of messages,
because by default it shows all messages logged regardless of the
default log level.

To make it more convenient to use, change this to only print the same
messages that are synchronously printed by default.

Users wanting to see more can specify a log level via an extra argument
to the dmesg command.
