[SRU] Unintended assignment of "syslog"

[Masaki Matsushita]

[Impact]

 * Fixes syslog handler issue which is causing problems with Neutron services
   in Openstack Liberty.

[Test Case]

 * Deploy neutron services with use_syslog=True in /etc/neutron/neutron.conf
   and check /var/log/neutron/neutron-server.log for errors. Also check that
   neutron logs are going to /var/log/syslog.

[Regression Potential]

 * None

Identifier "syslog" is unintendedly reassigned in _setup_logging_from_conf()
with OSSysLogHandler in oslo_log/log.py.
It causes an error in _find_facility() which expects "syslog" as module.

If this crashes neutron we should get a backport into a patch version on stable/liberty.
