[PATCH] commands: dmesg: add -p option for setting maximum log level

The existing -l option requires the user to specify all log levels they
are interested in, e.g. dmesg -l warn,err,crit,alert,emerg, which is
cumbersome.
Add a new -p option that automatically includes more severe log levels,
so the above can be realized by just dmesg -p warn
