Per the kmsg document(*), if we don't specify the log level with a prefix "<N>" in the message string, the default log level will be applied to the message. Since the default level could be warning(4), this would make the log utility such as journalctl treat the message, "Started bpfilter", as a warning. To avoid confusion, this commit adds the prefix "<5>" to make the message always a notice.
