[PATCH] dmesg: correct "-n, --console-level level" example in manual page

[Jean-Philippe ROMAIN]

When providing an abbreviation of the level name with the option "-n, --console-level level",
it corresponds to the level (included) up to which messages are displayed on the console.
If a level number is given, this level is excluded.

So in the given example, "-n 1" is equivalent to "-n emerg".
