dmesg: correct "-n, --console-level level" example in manual page
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". Signed-off-by: Jean-Philippe Romain <jean-philippe.romain@st.com>

+.B \-n emerg
