[PATCH] printk: Fix bounds checking for log_prefix.

[William Douglas]

Currently log_prefix is testing that the first character of the
log level and facility is less than '0' and greater than '9' (which
is always false).  It should be testing to see if the character
less than '0' or greater than '9' instead.  This patch makes that
change.

The code being changed worked because strtoul bombs out (endp isn't
updated) and 0 is returned anyway.
