Silence kernel output on console when starting up
Many systems have a very verbose kernel by default.  This patch calls
`klogctl(SYSLOG_ACTION_CONSOLE_OFF, NULL, 0)`, which is sysklogd also
calls but later when it starts emptying /dev/kmsg.
We do this to get an undisturbed console while starting up.
