liblog: Harden log_id check.
Logd currently checks against LOG_ID_MAX and LOG_ID_KERNEL to
determine if a given log_id is available. liblog uses only
LOG_ID_KERNEL. While this matches with the comments in log/log_id.h
to always keep LOG_ID_KERNEL at the end it does not match with other
checks that logd makes, causing inconsistent behavior. This
inconsistency is noticable on devices that errantly rewrite
LOG_ID_MAX to not equal LOG_ID_KERNEL + 1. For log buffers with
id's greater than LOG_ID_KERNEL, liblog reports that logd is
unavailable while logd would accept the request.
The guideline is to not use buffer ids above LOG_ID_KERNEL.
This hardening change prevents an inconsistency that results if these
guidelines are not followed. Partners are urged instead to increase
LOG_ID_KERNEL locally to match their LOG_ID_MAX - 1 when they add new
local log buffers in their private builds.
