fixes handling of <facility>.!* entries in /etc/syslog.conf

Hello,

the current Busybox (1.20.2) does not correctly handle <facility>.!* entries in /etc/syslog.conf. Instead of *disallowing* matching log messages, they are *allowed*. A simple patch is attached that fixes this problem.


Regards,

Christoph Schulz

P.S.: Why is there no "1.20.x" entry in the Bugzilla's "Version" list?
