printk: Fix bounds checking for log_prefix.
PATCH 1/1 printk: Fix bounds checking for log_prefix.
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.

PATCH v2 1/1 printk: Remove bounds checking for log_prefix
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.
