[PATCHv2] printk: Remove 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).

Since the code being updated works because strtoul bombs out (endp isn't
updated) and 0 is returned anyway just remove the check and don't change
the behavior of the function.
