patch

The man page lists error levels and says that `LOG_ERR` should be used for
errors.

In the examples, there's an error being logged "foobar error: %m" (%m fills in
the error message based on errno, so we're definitely logging an error here),
but it's being logged at the `LOG_INFO` level. If it's an error, I think it
should be at the `LOG_ERR` level.

This is present in the latest base HEAD r313159
