Wait, but isn't SYSLOG_ACTION_CONSOLE_LEVEL what we are looking for?
syzkaller knows about the syslog syscall:
https://github.com/google/syzkaller/blob/13026d10f09f0e801c342e6c009ff580d49b894b/sys/linux/sys.txt#L322
and even though it does not know SYSLOG_ACTION_CONSOLE_LEVEL const, it
can guess that number.
